My boss wants me to root his Incredible, with Unrevoked it won't wipe anything? So I can just run Unrevoked, then do a nand backup of the stock ROM? Push the SU app and Busybox and everything should be the same just rooted correct?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
Didn't wipe anything when I rooted my phone or my friend's. Superuser gets installed automatically, not sure about busybox.

http://noobgui.de/wiki/index.php?title=What_to_do_if_you're_S-OFF_but_can't_get_root

So i can't get root on my friends incredible. I went to the irc room for unrevoked, and no one responded to my queries, so i found that article, and would really like to know if it applies only to Evo, or if those files in there would work for the incredible?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
So it IS S-OFF right? If so, than the instructions are pretty much the same. Different files for recovery though.

CWM 2.5.1.2 Link

CWM 3.0.0.8 Link

Just rename "PB31IMG.zip" and place on root of SD card. (Formatted FAT 32). It will install ClockWorkMod recovery. You can the flash a file to get root, or even better. Flash one of the great ROM's around here on XDA. But of course, flashing a ROM will wipe your phone, if that's important.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smashingtool:
Ok, It is a little weird, from my understanding. When in H-Boot, the phone shows S-Off. I can also get into recovery, and when i got rom manager, it was able to install CWM(I dont remember which now...). However, Titanium was unable to do anything for a lack of root, and i didnt have the real superuser(had the ninja temporary one). Flashing the Unrevoked forever .zip didn't seem to do anything. I tried downgrading the phone as well, but it got stuck in one spot.

Regardless, It is s-off. So i guess i could just flash a rom to it? If i downloaded and flashed CM7, would it work and have superuser without me having to do anything more? Because I believe that is the desired end result. I guess i can use z4root to do a temp backup of the apps as well...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Yes, it already has super user built in. Pretty sure all non stock roms do. I'm not aware of any custom ROM that doesn't for that matter. Anyway, if you are using CWM 3.x make sure it is at least 3.0.0.8. The earlier ones (3.0.0.5 notably) had problems wiping. And make sure you wipe (Data/Factory Reset, Cache, and I do Dalvik Cache, and sometimes System too). But the install script for most ROM's will wipe system and others for you.

I recommend NOT backing up apps. Especially when going from Sense -> AOSP. And when using Titanium Backup, NEVER restore Data from the apps. Usually causes problems. If you do restore apps, and have problems. Wipe and install again but get them all from the market. After that, if you flash another release of CM, it will automatically restore your apps for you anyway. Along with most (system) settings.

Happy flashing! And on a side note, CM7's default launcher (ADW) is usually laggy. At least on mine, I would recommend getting Launcher Pro from the market. Much smoother IMO.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tansup3rman:
hey does this work for the HTC Droid Incredible 2 for Verizon?

And can I get Gingerbread on the Incredible 2 after root?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MrWicket:
so far I haven't heard anything.. I know the DInc 2 has S-Off and permanent root and I saw over on Androidcentral and/or Droid-Life that there was a 1-click tool but it's not unrEVOked.. I'm hoping unrEVOked has something in the works because I've used them and trust them and would like to root my wifes DInc 2 using them if possible to remove the crap. I guess the short answer is I don't think so..

to answer your second question I'd say yes, GB has already been leaked for the DInc2 so it's a matter of time for a Dev to release it as a flashable ROM with Root.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
The root for dinc2 isn't quite one click or as easy as unrevoked, but its not exactly difficult either. They already have CM7 and MIUI builds as well as gingerbread based sense roms.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] turbolego:
Webpage is down.

Anyone got a mirror?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scottricketts:
Would someone who downloaded it mind PM'ing it to me? I need to get the IPSec VPN client installed and that needs root access.

Danke schone!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Aaron1017:
DITTO! I just flashed the RUU
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ScottytheIncredible:
Optional? I'm not sure what you mean by this....can you switch it back to S-ON from S-OFF with ease or is this something that this 3.2 will not do easily?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ScottytheIncredible:
that last post was meant for this post....sorry.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scottricketts:
No one can upload this somewhere? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] codeyh:
calm down guys.. never know what they might find digging into the EVO issues.

when it's ready, they'll release it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fernando sor:
htc sync

how do you uninstall htc sync if you dont have root?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] deekjx:
htc sync is a windows app. You are not uninstalling it from the phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] elborak:
Uh, you can choose whether you want S-OFF or not? :confused:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scottricketts:
Seriously, just EVO's reported the issue, folks here reported success with the OTA Froyo, I'm willing to take the risk to my phone. Would someone mind posting 3.2 on Rapidshare?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ScottytheIncredible:
i get that part, fella...I'm just lost on what the procedure is on how to do it....I followed what it said on the rootwiki page for it, but I get the E: message that it tells your to stop at if you see. I just can't get anyone to help me to the next step OR is this 3.2 release the key to getting to that next step.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fernando sor:
thanks! you guys are great!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fernando sor:
do the driver update instructions vary with xp?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] elborak:
Fire up the executable (without your phone connected to your computer) and look in the File menu. Really, that's all there is to it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rdmerck:
Ask the original poster, via pm or IRC.

I have no problem posting files that MOTO/HTC/Whatever Named corporations don't want us posting.

But, since the file was pulled by unrEVOked, we should all be polite enough to respect the reasons they may have for pulling it. They have been doing us a great service, and for free at that. The least we can do is respect that and wait until it is officially posted and operating correctly before throwing it out for the masses to download.

While you may be technically proficient to un-brick your phone, if someone was to release faulty software through rapidshare, and it spread like wildfire on the phone forums, then there could be a bunch of bricked phones in the wild, tainting the unrEVOked name and reputation (which is at stake at every release they make).

That being said, the 3.2 tool works wonderfully, tried it on my SO's Incredible this afternoon with no hiccups. Saved me about 45 minutes of completing a downgrade and then re-upgrade.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] redtechjunky:
See this is why i think they should have just pulled it for Evo users but hey thats just my opinion....... i'm waiting patiently for now.......

i also realize that they cant "just pull it" from evo as its one redirect but hey...... how about .....works on 2.2 except for evo users...... sorry for choosing sprint.....lmao jp
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ranger7424:
That's where the problem lies too many idiots out there download without reading, shame on them, but somehow they always manage to make it the providers fault regardless. Give these guys time, their reputation is on the table and they want to make sure they don't disappoint anyone with poor work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] StirCwazy:
Very well said, agreed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] douger1957:
I believe they want to be sure the EVO bug isn't applicable to other phones.

These guys are good. Give them a chance.

Plus, I heeded their warning that the OTA might take some time to root...so I'm not waiting! :p
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kregstrong:
noone has a link for the 3.2? id like to try it
[Droid Incredible Android Development] the14thgod:
so is this not for OTA 2.2 update droid incredible? I manually updated and there seems to be issues with my phone now.. lots of force closes and notifications are adding a weird noise after it so I wanted to root and install a rom to see if it fixes it.

im a noob when it comes to this though, first time =p
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rdmerck:
This will work with the 2.2 OTA, verified it on 2 completely stock incredibles that had the 2.2 push
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 3L3C7R0:
Can Any of the developers point me to a solution? I ran the unrevoked 3.2. When I try to get into the recovery menu my phone vibrates 4 times and then does nothing. I have to do a battery pull and then I can boot normally. Any help would be appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 3L3C7R0:
Nevermind. After a reboot again it seemed to come up... Not sure what caused this...

Side note... How do I get verified so I don't have to wait 5 minutes between posts? :confused:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PaulG1488:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] silverxbv2:
So now that froyo has been pushed ota, if we need to return a phone for warranty, what would the steps be? I'm on 2.1 rooted, s-off, running skyraider vanilla 3.0. Would I go s-on, downgrade to 2.1, or run ruu for the leaked 2.2? My thought was to downgrade now to 2.1, accept the ota, run unrevoked 3.2, then nand restore back to skyraider. Then my next question is how do you unroot froyo? Run the ruu again?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] boomertwo:
Why does everyone still call the RUU a leaked version. Hasn't it already been proven to be the offical version that is coming on the phones now? I mean the build numbers and radio version match.

If it is different can someone please explain the difference other than one is an OTA update that requires you to be on verify specific radio and android versions..etc while the RUU doesn't require any of that mumbo jumbo.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] silverxbv2:
I thought if I just said ruu that would be a little vague. But you're right, it is the official ruu.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mattwood2000:
Have you tried powering down and pulling the battery for a minute or so? This happened to a friend of mine and after doing this his problems went away.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] UndergroundWire:
Do we know what the reasons are for it being pulled. The reason I ask is because, I want to root 2 more Evo's and the only reasons they give us is it was two issues with the Evo specifically. If it was my phone, I wouldn't hesitate.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] the14thgod:
I just tried and it still adds the weird clicking noise at the end of the sound (only on custom sounds though, but I used them in 2.1 with no problem). I think some of the force closes will go away through updates to the programs tbh. But anytime i shuffle all music it FCs but when I re-open it all the music is shuffled..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Benn00:
Can someone repost the install file for 3.2 that was pulled down. Seems the issues were only with the EVO so I'm willing to take the risk. TIA
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ranger7424:
Refer to post #35 of this thread for an explanation as to why no one will repost the file.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] strunker:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GZV4TPU8

You are welcome.

And btw, this came from the evo 4g thread on this which is far larger and has had direct posts from the OP.

They dont mind if we repost it. It is strictly use at your own risk at this point. It always really is but until 3.21 comes out 3.2 is really the unofficial version at this point.

What I can tell you is that I used it on 8 Dincs so far and have run into 0 issues... So yeah.

They isolated the issue with the Evo's to a phone specific issue where the flash was corrupted. The tool itself was not to blame.

I thought it was worth the risk, so I did it, and have had no issues. Most people who have tried haven't.

The new tool is going to incorporate a check to make sure the flash isn't corrupted prior to the phone being flashed by the unrevoked tool. That will primarily be the only difference between the versions..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] abe01:
I have a dinc and this worked perfectly for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbh00jh:
Are there how-to-flash instructions in the EVO thread ? :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bigpetefox:
Works fine, a lot of force-closing but clearing the cache helps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbh00jh:
Easy flash and everything still works fine , nice to turn off unneeded system apps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RedReplicant:
Anyone have the OSX version of this?

Ok I have this root loaded. And running the cyanogen 6.0 rom for froyo. Do I have to use this rom? Its ok, but I can't seem to get lots of stuff working. I love the look of it. But I need the wifi hotspot to work. Any better Roms available or I'm I SoL?

Thanks for all the assistance in the channel.... Proud to report it worked!!!!!

Rooted my OTA 2.2
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Berzerker7:
This is a *direct* quote from the page on the beta.

"If you were linked here from anywhere but the #unrevokedtest IRC channel on freenode where we're testing this, please slap the linker around with a large trout and tell them to point people at IRC instead."

Yes, they do mind if you repost it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] azburkabas:
And i totally agree with them :) if somebody is lazy to go to IRC and ask for guidance and help then suffer heheh :)

and just to confirm it rooting worked on my htc desire with stock froyo (2.2) thanks everyone that helped me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] strunker:
Well thats news to me because they said nothing in the other thread, which has been 10x more active than this one.

If it was really an issue they would likely petition a mod to have it removed if they couldnt do it themselves.

If they truly dont want it linked then my bad.

The more people testing the better in my mind. We all understand the risks and know what can happen if something goes wrong.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bikercr:
Quick question-- When booting into recovery using ROM Manager, should there be some indication at the top of the screen regarding being rooted? I installed unrevoked-forever, but no indication of root. Also tried to install unrevoked splash screen. It seemed to be recognized and installed by Clockwork Recovery, but nothing has changed during normal boot up.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
No, there's nothing to tell you that you're rooted in recovery. If you installed unrevoked-forever, booting into the bootloader will show S-OFF in green at the top of the screen.

Note that rooting, custom recovery (Clockword), and s-off are all different (but sometimes related) things that operate at different levels in the phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bikercr:
Understood. I'm no longer able to boot into the bootloader. Just get vibrations (Qualcomm test program). Its that a result of Clockwork or ROM Manager?

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Already rooted, now what?

I ran unrevoked 3.2 last night and everything completed successfully (got the super user icon in the apps drawer). I was looking at the "Android Software and Hacking General) subforum for stickies about other things to do after rooting, but didn't saw any. Does anyone has bookmarked threads detailing more info? As a reference, I already found a thread titled "HTC DROID INCREDIBLE helpful/popular threads [LOOK HERE FIRST]".

However, since the original instructions for 3.2 (in the first post of this thread) are not working and point to unrevoked2 I was wondering if anyone could point me to some threads showing:

1) Once rooted, how do I revert back my to stock.

2) After installing a custom image/rom how do I revert back to "rooted stock" or plain stock.

As my first "crack at rooting" I want to remove some unwanted verizon apps (with root explorer) and install the tethering app. However, I'm considering installing a custom rom if I found one that runs faster and more responsive than the stock HTC Sense.

Thanks!

[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
UndergroundWire, Thanks for the link! :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] oldman_58:
Maybe a bit easier for newbies

You could use the attached file, the OTA may or may not have the ODEX files, so don't be surprised if you see messages that some files don't exist. You will need to rename the attached file to RemoveBloatwareIncredible.sh by removing the ".TXT"

Before using the attached file ensure you really want to move the APK and JAR files to another directory

You could also

mount system

mount sdcard

adb push RemoveBloatwareIncredible.sh /sdcard/RemoveBloatwareIncredible.sh

adb shell

mkdir /system/app.disabled

Once the app.disabled directory is built

cd /sdcard

sh ./RemoveBloatwareIncredible.sh

*****if you removed some file you later decide you wanted to keep you will just need to mv the file from /system/app.disabled to /system/app
[Droid Incredible Android Development] leech2082:
Question! I just rooted my 2.2 incredible. everything works great. i tried to install titanium pro and it tells me it wont work either because im not rooted or because my rom doesnt have busy box... I might answer my own question here but i know im rooted simply because i have su and have used root explorer... Is the reason I am not able to use titanium pro becuase i havent flashed a custom rom that has busy box intergrated?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Not sure if the process is the same regardless of the unrevoked version I used, so I have another question: If I ever want to revert back to stock 2.2 do I just repeat the instructions for the official 2.2 OTA (update.zip)? Or do I have to find a "full image" online in order to restore the stock image? Thanks for the feedback.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] oldman_58:
Depends on how you revert, if you load a new ROM you don't have to anything but load the new ROM (the new ROM should blow away the existing ROM and system directory)

If you want to go back to what you had before you moved the files with the existing ROM:

Just reverse the mv files in the script, mv from /system/app.disabled /system/app
[Droid Incredible Android Development] redtechjunky:
Where did you find unrevoked 3.2......... i would love to use it but still getting redirected to unrevoked2........ tried the mirror in this thread and no luck .....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Psionicsin:
Ok having trouble, need an answer.

I have an EVO 4G that's already rooted. I've been through this with that and it was a breeze.

However...

I have my friend Incredible currently because he wants me to root it for him (He did the 2.2 OTA upgrade I believe), and I don't know what I'm doing wrong here.

The Android SDK is already installed on my system so I didn't have to do all of that.

I downloaded, and installed the modified driver

The phone remembers to be in charge only mode

USB Debugging is enabled

Now my problem comes with the tool. I run it and it says that it's waiting for the device to be plugged in. When I plug it in...the status doesn't change. It still says waiting for me to plug in the phone.

The only time the status seems to change is if I shut down the phone while it's plugged up (I get a device connection error), or when I boot the phone up from shut down (it says pushing recovery image, but nothing after that).

I'm running Windows 7 x64, and no software is installed on my machine that interferes with the device at all. What's my problem??
[Droid Incredible Android Development] silverxbv2:
Is usb debugging turned on on the phone?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Psionicsin:
Yes, it is.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Psionicsin:
Ok EXTREMELY ODD...

After 20min of just sitting there...the tool just started working. I have no idea how it did it...but it did.

It's currently at the "Flashing Recovery Image. Do not touch your phone." screen.

It's been on it for 5min now, and the phone already finished rebooting and is at the homescreen again. Hope it's not stuck or anything.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] silverxbv2:
I seem to remember when I used the earlier unrevoked tool, possibly 3.0 when I got my replacement phone that it reboots a couple of times at least. Don't think it should be taking that long though. I also used a windows 7 64 bit laptop.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Psionicsin:
Ok this thing did NOT push the recovery image when it said. It took my phone into HBOOT and everything, rebooted, and now nothing.

I've run it again and it comes on saying "Pushing Recovery Image", but it's not doing the whole process again.

Is Unrevoked the only rooting method for the Incredible? I can't have this take too long as I need to give the phone back in the morning.

Now everytime I run it, the tool keeps getting stuck at the "Waiting for Reboot" message.

EDIT: It's moving past that now and keeps giving me "Failed to flash recovery image"
[Droid Incredible Android Development] silverxbv2:
Alright, stupid question time. Are you sure your running unrevoked 3.2? If so, where did you get the download cuz it has been pulled. 3.1 doesn't work on froyo and gives the failed to flash error.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Psionicsin:
Ok when I click on this link (http://www.unrevoked.com/recovery/), it took me to a page that says:

So then I clicked that link and it took me to this page.

So I'm not actually sure what version I'm getting. The navigation on that horrid site is not intuitive in the least bit, nor is the hyperlinking.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] silverxbv2:
At this time, unrevoked3 does NOT work on stock Froyo (Android 2.2) phones.

The first bold text under the versions. That is unrevoked 3.1, not 3.2. It won't work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Psionicsin:
Ok I went on Google and found something that claims to be the definite 3.2...I'm hoping. I'll report findings in a bit. It's 23MB big. Hope that's correct.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Psionicsin:
Ok I def have 3.2 now...but it's acting just like the last. I'm not getting a Failed message though, so that MIGHT be a start?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] silverxbv2:

try this.

I tried. Crazy chat in there though. Never been in irc before.
