[TG01 General] Tozzy2:
EDIT: Tried today and seems to be working now. Weird, just works when it feels like it.

Has anyone had the same problem and managed to fix it? Only thing i can think of doing is a master reset which means losing all my programs etc. I restored a backup with SPB to no success. Whenever I try to connect to my home router which has no encryption, it says 'unavailable' and no network is detected. Also, if I'm out, it detects networks which are security enabled even when they are arent! Thinking of selling, but can't until I get this problem resolved. Any help would be most appreciated.

P.S. It was working last night, but today it's decided not to and the problem is not the router as I tried with another phone.
[TG01 General] Tozzy2:
Hi, just wanted to say I fixed the problem... I changed the channel on my router to 6 and restarted it, then my TG01 picked up the signal and can connect so incase anyone has the same problem, try this.

Cheers!

Hey all,

We've been working pretty hard to bring you unrEVOked 3.2 with out-of-the-box, one-click support for all Android versions on the Incredible.

Available for Linux, Mac, and Windows:

http://www.unrevoked.com/recovery/

Please start by visiting the help page and reading it through:

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/unrevoked3

1. Windows users MUST install the HBOOT drivers for this to work:

http://www.unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php?id=public:windows_hboot_driver_install

2. Windows users need to uninstall HTC Sync or any other program that might talk to the phone over USB (doubletwist, etc). Disabling HTC Sync from the system tray is not enough. They interfere with the root process and will cause problems.

3. When asked for USB connection type, select "Charge Only" and "Remember this".

Special thanks to Sebastian Krahmer for the rageagainstthecage exploit.

i would test for you.....i wouldnt mind messing up my phone for development purposes
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wesny:
Nice work as usual. I have a bunch of people who upgraded and now want root. Look forward to the finished release.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] con247:
Can't wait to root my HTC Desire from US Cell... I hope the testing goes quickly!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 338lapuaAI:
it worked for me.

specs were

stock 2.2 with ota. no mods previously done.

now I have root with S-off
[Droid Incredible Android Development] molinap1:
I would like to test since I took the OTA and lost root, but I am unfamiliar with freenode and can't figure out what I need to do.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Kulaa:
Google

I am a google.com kinda person. Just type in your search and let it find the answers.

http://freenode.net/faq.shtml Top google search.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] molinap1:
Sorry Kulaa for being an ass myself. Thanks for the new post.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 338lapuaAI:
go to webchat.freenode.net and fill out the form.

for channel type in #unrevokedtest
[Droid Incredible Android Development] enomele:
Well your loss then! Besides it was just sarcasm, don't take it so harshly.

Can't wait for this to get released so I can help my cousin root his phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dneiding:
Worked perfect for me!!!

Good job unrevoked guys
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Quantum Walrus:
Awesome
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CARTERRYAN22:
Yessssss Thank You!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yomonk1:
How do we get the new 3.2 if we already have 3.0 loaded. I cant find a guide.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] elborak:
There's nothing "loaded" with these, they just make modifications to your phone. If you're already rooted/S-OFF there's no reason to run them again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tktouch12:
this is great news. i'm excited for when this is released. but, this will just root it right? it wont turn s-off?

keep up the good work
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mmastrac:
Updated post - it's live now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] elborak:
S-OFF is optional.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 3L3C7R0:
Hey

So when is the tool supposed to be back up?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] StirCwazy:
I imagine it will be back up as soon as they work out the small bug(s) they found. I can't wait for it either, I'm ready for some for 2.2 lovin.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadsterflip:
i hate not having any root...... guess the new ota is tough to crack or were just sol now. any way to install roms without s-off and root? lol. really been itching to get skyraider back on. stupid refurb phones with ota.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] androiddude81:
It doesn't even feel like t

he same phone when not rooted. Once you root you never go back. I'm literally checking every hour for the unrevoked update. Please come soon. Definitely donating after this update. Can't live without these guys haha
[Droid Incredible Android Development] surferdad:
Man I have only had my Dinc for two weeks and have not had the chance to root due to the update it got.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xFoCaLx:
Is there a way to root manually after the Nov update? Or is everyone waiting for the easy unrevoked way?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] androiddude81:
Waiting :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] leoiden:
damn where are they this is day 4
[Droid Incredible Android Development] androiddude81:
How do I do the Payload? I have the su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip. what next just Update with CWM menu after HBOOT
[Droid Incredible Android Development] androiddude81:
Well can't just install as a .zip, so I'm assuming i have to put the files in my root directory and then run the scripts in the META-INF/com/google/android folder. I know how to do this just want to make sure this is what I'm supposed to do. I already have these files in the root directory. Any pointers would be much appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
If you can get into clockwork, then you should just be able to flash the superuser .zip. Unless there is an issue? I could post my copy up here.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] androiddude81:
Alright So I just finished rooting my phone WITH DINC NOV update (i.e vcast and SlackerRadio update). First YOU MUST HAVE S-OFF prior to the latest update to do this.

Download the PB31IMG.zip and put it in your /sdcard directory.

Boot into HBOOT by holding down the volume down button and the ON button. It will recognize the PB31IMG.zip and ask if you want to update.

Select yes with the up volume button. This will install CWM.

Once done delete the PB31IMG.zip from your sdcard. I repeat DELETE PB31IMG.zip.

unzip su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip and put the Superuser.apk and su files on your sd card

now restart back into HBOOT and select RECOVERY with the Volume buttons and the ON button. This will start the CWM menu.

Use the Mount option and Mount the /system directory.

The next few commands is what unrevoked normally does in a script, but since it's not working here are the commands to do by hand. The script is in the su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip if you want to check it out.

open your adb shell (make sure it is root. Should have a #~ not a $)

chmod 6755 su

mv su /system/bin/

mv Superuser.apk /system/app/

ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

oh great what if we have s-on

thats what i get for requesting a replacement incredible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] androiddude81:
have faith in unrevoked. they'll get it soon.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] geekmug:
With gathered knowledge and tools from the forums and from the unrevoked IRC folks, I was able to disable the flash protection temporarily and flash a clockwork recovery onto it. And yes, once you have achieved that, you can go S-OFF with unrevoked forever, and consequentially downgrade or flash to any other ROM (which I did, I flashed the latest Virtuous).

I don't feel like I am in a position to distribute anyone else's tools, so I won't. I just wanted to tell people that if they try hard enough, it can be done; this revision of the firmware isn't unbreakable.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] espmetalhead:
Let us know how to do this!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadsterflip:
puff of smokes is what i say. im sure unrevoked will break it soon and don't have to listen to some people saying it could be done but oh i won't tell anyone how to do it or help anyone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xFoCaLx:
I dont think anyone is asking you to redistribute anyone's tools. However, I dont see any harm in linking the tools, or providing the name or creators name of the tools you used. So like others, Im calling BS...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadsterflip:
i agree. link the creator or so. why bother saying you can do it but yet not help anyone to do it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KidJoe:
Please share the steps you used, giving credit where credit is due...

You don't have to distribute anyone's tools, but links to them, or at least provide the name & version of the tools used to make it easier to search would be appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nathanlewan:
SOLUTION! - downgrade to 3.21.605 even if u have s-on

hello,

i didn't write any of these exploits, just figured out the right order. If you do this, you will be able to successfully downgrade to 3.21.605, and then use the normal un-revoked from there to get s-off, at which point you can follow the other directions posted in other threads to upgrade to the latest OTA and re-root

* NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BORK YOUR PHONE*

here's the basics:

1. get the RUU for 3.21.605 from shipped-roms.com, and extract the rom.zip file from the RUU, rename to PB31IMG.zip and put on the root of your sd card.

2. download the HTC Incredible downgrade package from the cyanogen mod wiki

3. put the downgrade files in your android sdk tools folder, and push them to your phone. you don't need the rageagainstthecage exploit, because we use z4root later on.

adb push flash_image /data/local
adb push mtd0.img /sdcard/

1. download z4root from the market, and obtain temporary root by running it on your phone

2. connect to the phone via adb, and type:

su

3. mount system as rw with this commmand:

mount -o remount,rw /dev/null /system

4. follow these instructions from the cyanogen mod wiki (in adb shell):

cd /data/local
chmod 0755 /data/local/flash_image
cd /data/local
./flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd0.img
reboot bootloader

when your phone re-boots, you will have to select to go into bootloader, and then select to apply the update.

it will look like it fails the first time, but it will go through the process again and succeed.

If people need more detailed instructions, I can post more precise directions later.

i just had success with this. cool :)

again, I did not write any of these exploits, just found the right order to do them in to downgrade from the latest OTA, even with s-on
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zably:
Hmm, this actually worked for me. Thanks a lot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00gl3:
Many many thanks for this write up! This worked perfectly for me!!! :D

I had a brand new Inc that received the OTA update, which would not allow unrevoked to work. I was waiting for the unrevoked team's update when I came across this post. I followed the instructions to a T, had to do some googling to find all the instructions for some of the steps. Now I have root and S-OFF!!

Good luck to everyone else as this does work for all you OTA'ers out there! :cool:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] influxvicions:
I just get a new incredible and try to root it with tis method and didn't work. I think the new OTA update is not compatible with unrevoked 3.21 I try reinstalling drivers and nothing. here are my specs: base band 2.15.00.07.28 build number 3.26.605.1 CL264707
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadsterflip:
Man man can't wait to try this when I get home!! Thx
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kzoodroid:
This method was posted on Cyanogen Mod Wiki with the disclaimer that its for Inc's with AMOLED screens only it will brick an Inc. with an SCLD screen. Which I have tehrefor I'llw ait for Unrevoked.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00gl3:
I have an SLCD screen and it did not brick mine. The key is to download an alternate recovery to use once you are at the unrevoked3 step. I found the modified CWM recovery that has the SLCD fix. Worked like a champ!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nathanlewan:
won't brick slcd

this method will not brick your slcd phone. I did it as well. you are not flashing an old ROM onto the phone, you are flashing the stock 3.21.605 version, then like was said above, when you unrevoke, you use the slcd custom recovery.

glad to see it's working for others!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadsterflip:
How do you find out if its slcd screen? Just got my wife refurbished but originally amoled
[Droid Incredible Android Development] killakrishook3r:
most amoled phones are replaced with amoled phones so you should be fine
[Droid Incredible Android Development] leoiden:
how do you connect to the phone via adb after running z4root and optaining temp root?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadsterflip:
Cool. Thx
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MXMike:
I have been waiting for something like this to come out of the shadows. I can't thank you enough!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] leoiden:
it worked a little hassle but got it sweet mother of abraham!!!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] slawson:
Updated PB31IMG
[Droid Incredible Android Development] myron317:
In the command window, type:

adb shell

Then proceed with the instructions. Hope that helps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] digikid:
Is this working for post nov. OTA phones?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KidJoe:
Great instructions!!! I followed them on my GF's INC which got the upgrade prior to S-OFF... it is now rooted with S-OFF

Thank you!!

One thing I didn't realize... in step #2.. I had to look at the phone, and answer the prompt about granting it permissions. At first I was scratching my head, wondering why, when I typed SU on the PC it told me it was denied....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadsterflip:
Ok.... I follow your instruction down to a tee... on hboot it checks the file and acts like its about to apply it then stops. Goes back to the regular hboot menu and that's it. I've done it over and over and I don't know what I'm doing wrong...... frustrating.

Step 4 do I actually go to the website or just type what you type as is?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KidJoe:
Yes.

It worked on my GF's AMOLED that had the latest Nov 14 or 15th OTA update, but was still S-ON...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadsterflip:
Hmm what the heck am I doing wrong... lol irritating. Everything works until the pb31img check then nothing after that. It loads it and sits for a sec then nothing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadsterflip:
finally... download the update file from slawson and works perfectly! i used the shipped ruu didn't work out too wel for me for some odd reason. its updating and thx again man! now i can go upload skyraider again!

quick question. we didn't really downgrade the newest ota right? so we dont' have to update ota again? correct? this is pretty much up to date and good to go

whats next just run unrevoked to get root and recovery? and i can't find the link to install ota on rooted phones.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pete_kowalski83:
if youre just going to root and install skyraider, why would you need the ota? SR is already 2.2
[Droid Incredible Android Development] digikid:
Well then wtf?? I am getting an error saying it can't find my sd card when I run the flash_image command. It's formatted fat32...grrrr...frustrating. :confused:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spycmeatball95:
When i do the ./flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd0.img it just tells me that it cannot find the directory
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadsterflip:
Well my wife accepted the ota and didn't ask me so she lost root and all. I had to downgrade to stock 2.2 to gain root and recovery and manual update the new update to it. Since the new update you couldn't run unrevoked to root and all. But now I'm back on track with the new update rooted and all. Thx for this walk through!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadsterflip:
Not coming in a rude way. Your sdcard is not mounted on the comp is it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] digikid:
No, its not mounted on my pc. The phone is in charge only mode. That's the weird thing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadsterflip:
Hmm not sure what to tell you on that one. I didn't come across that problem. Try manually moving the mtd0.img to sdcard? I might be wrong so.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] digikid:
I did, but I can't flash misc because it won't see the /sdcard partition.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KidJoe:
Not sure what to say. Does ADB DEVICES show your phone?

When I first tried it, it failed step 3 at "adb push mtd0.img /sdcard/" telling me it couldn't find the directory. I then realized the phone was connected to the PC in "USB mass storage" mode. Even though I set it to connect as Charge Only by default, apparently it was set to connect usb mass storage on default without prompting me). I quick switched the INC to Charge only mode, and the rest of the steps worked perfectly.

Did "adb push flash_image /data/local" work? or did it error?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Solar257:
After posting an issue in this thread I can confirm that the steps on page 20, steps along with the updated recovery found over at Incredible Forums works on SLCD devices to roll them back to the previous firmware.

One point for those seeking S-Off is that you need to download unrevoked forever update and apply it yourself. My first time around I was under the assumption that simply checking 'disable phone security' created the S-Off state (applying the unrevoked forever update automatically with the option to download the file for those who wanted to use another method than the unrevoked software). This time around I applied the unrevoked forever update while back in the Clockwork recovery and all went well on my SLCD phone. I am now rooted with S-Off on an earlier version of the firmware. Probably going to go with Virtuous' almost stock ROM.

Finally one last question, why not push the PB31IMG.zip to the phone using adb? Is there a technical reason against moving something that large along with the two other files in Step 1?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nathanlewan:
try this

hello,

just to check, did you type this first to get into the proper folder?

cd /data/local

you can confirm by typing

pwd

and it will show your current path

can you cd into your sd card, and see the mtd0.img file? Try this:

cd /sdcard/
ls -l

you should see the contents of your sdcard, and in it, the mtd0.img file

also make sure you are in "charge only" mode so your phone doesn't attempt to mount your sd cards.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] digikid:
Yes it does.

I will make doubly sure that's not the case...I will look at the windows drives to see if its mounted there, but when I look at the options it did say its in charge only mode. I was able to adb push flash_image to /data/local successfully.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gatorbait:
Awesome work-around, nathanlewan!

I just downgraded and it worked perfectly for someone who had no prior experience with adb. Now what is the best step to take so that I don't continue getting this "upgrade available" message for the Verizon OTA?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] boofa:
workaround failed for me at hboot until I reformatted my sdcard and put nothing but the update image on there. it's possible it was detecting my battery being below 50% (just barely) and killing itself and it charged while the card formatted.

either way, worked like a charm afterward. Way to go nathalewan, been waiting for this since I made the mistake of flashing the new ROM before I realized it was the new 1, lol.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] espmetalhead:
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! :D

This worked perfectly for me - the only problem I had was after rebooting into bootloader the phone would jump right into stock recovery (this happened every time). I powered down and ran the update and it worked!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] killakrishook3r:
youd think theyd fix this already, they said a day or two on the 18th, im just gonna wait for the easy unrevoked way
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bbuchho90:
Ok so i ran through all of these adb commands and everything, reboot bootloader, and when it checks for PB31IMG, it says wrong image or not found. and it doesnt update. has anyone else run into this problem, or would anyone know how I can fix it? I'm using slawsons updated file, and no i did not zip.zip it. Thanks for any help
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MrWicket:
they must've hit a snag or something.. I don't mind waiting, especially since it involves modding my phone. I would rather them have it spot on and working perfect but a update would help the anxiety. ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bbuchho90:
nvm, figured it out. For anyone else running into this problem, back up SD Card and just reformat it (FAT32, of course). place only the PB31img zip on there. seems to have done the trick
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00gl3:
NVM, looks like you got it covered. Well done!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bbuchho90:
Wrong. It ran the update file, and I hit the key to reboot after it was all done, and nothing. Blank screen. I can hit the power button and the phone will give a quick vibrate, but the screen is completely blank. If i pull the battery and try vol down+power, nothing happens. So I'm thinking I have a screen brick, since he just got his phone not long ago and I'm assuming its SLCD. I'm going through this process, (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=825960) but it's not working. adb fails to recognize the device. :/ anyone have any advice? This is my friends phone that he wanted rooted so I'm a bit time constrained as he leaves tomorrow morning.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bi_Polarized:
nathanlewan ,

Thanks so much I have a slcd and it worked great. This is the first time I tried to root a phone and just followed your instructions , and took my time and got it on the first try. Again thanks.;)
