I installed the new OTA update today. Now I've lost root and everything. I downloaded unrevoked3 and tried running it. It will not work. I am assuming that the new OTA update is not yet rootable?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] camalus:
Correct. Due to finals and thanksgiving.. its still in testing. Should be out soon though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] falcon26:
Aw ok got it. I thought maybe it was just me :-) I'll wait for the new update then....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] falcon26:
Ok this is strange in my Hboot menu it says S-off so shouldn't I be able to root?

Software version: 3.26.605.1

Baseband: 2.15.00.07.28

It says something about no image found. Then when I try to load recovery it gives me some weird icon with the little andriod guy and a ! mark on it...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Have you flashed the CWM PB31IMG already? If so, maybe try a fresh download and give it another go? Make sure you have the appropriate version for your phone. The AMOLED and SLCD versions of CWM are different. If it still happens then, try quickly pushing your power button once when the picture you described pops up.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] falcon26:
Yes I just did that over again. It goes as far as rebooting my phone then it just says "Waiting for Root" and it just sits their and does nothing...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ddukes76:
amoled or slcd

Im a dumb dumb, but how can I verify what screen my friened has on his Dinc...

Thanks in adavnce guys

Please PM me, I get them quicker..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] falcon26:
I figured it out. I knew my setting was S-off and that I did do the OTA update from the 10th. I downloaded a ROM and went into the recovery mode and installed it from the SD card and rebooted. Now it works fine and I am rooted...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] paraplegicpanda:
Is anyone else having trouble downloading the PB31IMG.zip posted by slawson? I keep trying to download it from the Mediafire link but it never fully downloads.

Any update yet? Still waiting to go back to root.

i've already extracted the rom, and uploaded the updated zip it's on page 22/23 of this thread, maybe you should read :)

[Droid Incredible Android Development] killakrishook3r:
it looks like on the 24th they were pretty much done but needed to test for bugs and package and code etc. so we should see an update in a few days.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] brunswick240:
pretty sure I read on their blog that due to the holidays and finals they were pushing it back a bit... so glad unrevoked is so legit, but I cant wait hah and now that someone else asked the same question of extracting the .zip from the ruu Im downgrading haha.

No reason to extract, i've already extracted and uploaded. ;p
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jsuh:
If anyone is eager to root your DINC, I put together an extensive guide on how to downgrade, root and S-OFF, and go back to 2.2 and apply Nov OTA. I rooted my DINC yesterday successfully following my own guide :)

http://jonsuh.com/2010/11/root-your-droid-incredible-how-to/

All the information was tested by myself and information was gathered mostly from here. The guide is strictly for AMOLED owners.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] brunswick240:
o man i wish that was for slcd screen :/
[Droid Incredible Android Development] brunswick240:
whoops, I am amoled. when i get to the step to push mtd0.img /sdcard/ it says failed to copy etc etc permission denied. any advice?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] syst3merror:
ok, I'm following the guide at http://jonsuh.com/2010/11/root-your-droid-incredible-how-to/ (but it's for AMOLED) but I read that right before the unrevoked step I should install an alternative recovery....so do I literally install the alternative recover at the end of this point?!?!

So it would technically be:

1. Do the steps above (I'll be downgraded to 2.1)

2. Install alternative recovery (cwm mod for slcd)

3. do the unrevoked (and at finish I'll be on 2.1 with S-Off)

Correct?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] slawson:
Your guide contains links to my extracted image, if you could give credit, and the guide already posted in this thread is for slcd and amoled.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanger84:
This worked, thank god. Was getting impatiant waiting on the new Unrevoked and then I wasn't sure if it would support SLCD. Now my new SLCD DInc is rooted =D Thank you!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00gl3:
Not quite, but you are close.

The alternate recovery is selected from within unrevoked itself.

You should use the ClockWorkMod that has been fixed for SLCD, I attached a copy to this post. You must extract the recovery.img file out of the zip file first.

Once you run unrevoked you can select to choose a custom recovery, choose the recovery.img file from above.

Then just continue with running unrevoked.

Good luck!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jsprake1:
I done all these methods and failed getting "permissions". I think having an old Su app is interfering with the adb process. It is in the system apps so I can't just uninstall it even with z4root and titanium back up. Nothing in general with give me super user permissions I need for these methods darn it. I have tried to remove with z4 and just reboots my DInc.

Recharging

Here's something odd. Ever since the update, granted it's been only three days, my phone hasn't been able to take a charge. No issue when rooted. I've done some "answer box" (internet) research and all I've found is that people had to replace there phones. No mention of system issue or hardware issue. Any thoughts??

Instructions on how to root for AMOLED & SLCD

http://jonsuh.com/2010/11/root-your-droid-incredible-how-to/ :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rocktoonz:
Can't wait to get home and try this new version on my DInc!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] XGaSpAcHo:
wait so it's not as simple as the 1-click root used to be? we have to follow these instructions instead?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jsuh:
For SLCD, yes, there are slightly different instructions because of the custom recovery mod. That is why I have the guide.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] XGaSpAcHo:
i'm almost certain my dinc is AMOLED. if i'm wrong and it's an SLCD can i do that extra step later? or will my phone be bricked if i don't do the right one?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jsuh:
I don't know if Unrevoked will brick or just fail with an SLCD... The old method of downgrading and rooting was known to brick if done on SLCD with AMOLED method.

If you have the original box, just check the SKU on it. If it's ADR6300VW3 it's SLCD. There's also a "light test" you could do.

1. Turn the phone off. Walk into a pitch black room.

2. Turn the phone on.

3. If you see ‘light’ coming from a black screen as the device turns on, you have SLCD.

If you don’t see any light from the screen until you get images, you have AMOLED.

I also read I believe if you go to Settings > About Phone > Hardware Information. If it reads 0002 it's AMOLED if it's 0003 it's SLCD (I'm not TOTALLY sure about this one)

To be safe you may want to be sure what it is before you do it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] XGaSpAcHo:
my version is 002. and if i'm on that hardware screen and go into a dark place then only the places where there is text are lit up. everything else is pitch black.

so for AMOLED it's just a simple 1-click root same as before, right?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jsuh:
Yep, as easy as that.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] XGaSpAcHo:
i'm terrified of rooting. the last replacement i tried to root went into a boot loop that nobody anywhere was able to fix. i think it might have been a hardware issue though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] killakrishook3r:
so glad they finally fixed it, i was missing root
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rocktoonz:

Ran on mu HTC Incredible 2.2 ----So I got the message, "lost contact, try again" and "reflash_package.exe" left the phone with the menue;

Clockwork Mod Recovery v2.5.0.5 (white)

-reboot system now (all green ... love green but like white better)

-apply sdcard: update.zip

-wipe data/....

-wipe cash partition

-install zip from sdcard

-backup and restore

-mount and storage

-advanced

which to do? red2erni
[Droid Incredible Android Development] red2erni:
Twice got to rebooting into recovery then

"Comm with phone unexpectedly interrupted"

"try again"

"Recovery image: ClockworkMod Recovery"

on phone

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.5

-8 choices in green,

three times I chickened out and went for

-reboot system now

my guess is

-apply sdcard:update.zip

might get it done, but the ominous long list of no's with the one yes in the middle

and the warning that it can't be undone is unnerving?

Do I see a show of hands?

red2erni
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MrWicket:
yes there are a lot of NO's and 1 YES.. I think this is to give you a fighting chance to not accidentally do the wrong thing, they make you work to say "yes" to make sure you mean it. lol

to try and clarify your question, you were running unrevoked 3.22 "reflash_package.exe" and it was going along doing it's thing and suddenly stopped giving you a error message? if you're seeing that screen on your phone it sounds to me like it successfully installed Clockwork Recovery.. question is did it actually finish.. you said you chose reboot system, does it reboot your phone normal or does it automatically take you back to the screen with 8 options? I'd make sure you have all the right drivers installed and that HTC Sync, Dropbox and DoubleTwist are all uninstalled from your computer, what OS you running unrevoked from (windows, osx or linux) and lastly AOMLED or SLCD screen? give this detail and hopefully, if not me (cause I am new to all this myself), someone can answer your question and get you rooted! Good luck! :)

Mr W

I see you are related to Verizon? So thanks for reply! I have no apps in my Vista 32 laptop, deleted all HTC and other apps. I do have the lovely Verizon window appear when I first plug USB/Incredible. Seems ok if I ignore it. Cant find it on my pc to delete it! Lovely Verizon paracite wear. Anyway, I run reflash_package.exe and all goes well up to the reboot into recovery when I get the "commwith phone unexpectedly interrupted" message with "try again" in the cloud on the pc and the

"ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.5" in white on the phone with the 8 choices in green.

Both times I elected the

-reboot system now

and got back to the home screen without root.

So, I'm not new to rooting/flashing ROM's, but I have a question.

My gf just got her incredible the other day and it keeps trying to push the latest OTA. I told her to ignore it for now.

If she installs the OTA is the unrevoked method still good and if so, does she need the newest OTA for the latest unrevoked method to work if she hasn't already updated?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MrWicket:
newest version of Unrevoked 3.22 works like a charm so installing the OTA is ok. since she just got it it'll probably be the SLCD version vs the AMOLED so make sure you follow the directions for the correct version. To know what version check the SKU on the retail box, if it is ADR6300VW3 she has the SLCD version.

Replacement phone rooting issues

I got a replacement Inc and I tried using the unrevoked3 tool to root it this time.

I'm using a mac.

When the tool says done, the phone isn't in clockworkmod recovery. I do have superuser permissions in the app drawer though.

If I reboot the phone holding vol down and power, then try to go to recovery, the screen turns black with a white stripe on either side. Same thing happens if I reboot into recovery through rom manager.

What am I doing wrong? Why can I not get to the recovery?

Question: is unrevoked a temporary root? If not where can I get one HTC EVO 4G
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MrWicket:
it's permanent root, there is also unrevoked forever that will keep you rooted even if a OTA update patches the current root exploit (or something like that). and yes there is a EVO version that can be found on their website. good luck!

Incredible SLCD root problems solved!

Finally solved!

After many failed attempts (with different errors and results) to root my HTC Incredible

(with SLCD) with Unrevoked 3.32 and HBOOT drivers version 2.0.0010.00002, I finally got it

to work. Here is what I did:

1. Uninstalled zsploit! I could not do this from the AppBrain market app, which I usually

use for uninstalls, because it didn't show up there. I used Android Tweak instead (free

download) and it took all of 2 seconds.

2. Uninstalled all task and system related utilities that I had manually installed. This

will be different for everyone so think about what apps you installed that "optimize" some

aspect of the phone. You can always re-download and reinstall them later.

I think those two steps are probably what fixed the problem but you should know what else I

did differently from all of my failed attempts, just to be thorough.

3. I changed my live animated wallpaper to just an image.

4. In Settings, Development I checked "Stay Awake".

5. I started Unrevoked (reflash_package.exe) *before* plugging in the freshly

restarted-in-normal-mode phone.

Here is what DID NOT WORK FOR ME!:

using a different computer,

using a different cable,

retrying the whole procedure many, many times,

turning off the password/pattern lock (the nine dots, if you have it on),

using Unrevoked v3.30 (27MB) instead of v3.32 (28MB),

crying (well, not really).

Notes:

At some point in the many, many attempts half of my widgets dissappeared and were replaced

with some placeholder message. DON'T WORRY! Just drag the messages to the "Remove" button,

like a normal widget uninstall. Then reinstall (re-put?) the widget and it works.

Also, don't get too desperate and try to flash a ROM to your phone just to get rooted!

Rooting should not be terribly disruptive and is a fairly low-risk operation if you can use

google and patiently follow instructions. Flashing a ROM is not so trivial and the risk of

screwing things up is greater! If you only want the joys and freedoms of being rooted, and

it's not working for you right now, then flashing a ROM is like getting surgery for a

headache! Just wait a few weeks and check the forums again. The developers are effing

amazing!

Phone:

HTC Incredible with SLCD (not AMOLED)

Hardware Version 0003 (that means it's an SLCD)

Android 2.2 from Verizon's November 2010 OTA update

Computer OS for all tests:

XP Pro

Stuff used for rooting:

HBOOT drivers version 2.0.0010.00002 (the version number is in the android_winusb.inf text

file) I got these from unrevoked.com. I'm guessing that this version, or higher, should

work fine.

Unrevoked 3.32 (reflash_package.exe)

Good Luck!

Confirming unrevoked-forever

Is there a way to confirm that a phone actually has unrevoked-forever installed? I've run through the unrevoked-forever.zip process on three different DIncs but have no way of knowing if they're permanently rooted at the sub-radio level or not. The process text runs by too fast during a recovery installation to know if it's successful or not.

anyone?

Problem mounting

I´m going slightly mad here.

Unrevoked 3.32 says I have root, I´ve installed busy box but when I enter recovery mode I get some errors "can't mount e:/cache" etc and when I try to flash a custom ROM I get an error as soon as it starts to write to the boot directory. I use the recovery image that ships with unrevoked.

I have the official OTA ROM

H-boot 0.93.0001

I´ve browsed around like crazy to find an answer how to be able to flash custom ROM but I don't get it.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] rajverma3135:
Hi

Rooting does not wipe the phone, but its recommended to a backup.

It just change permissions on ur phone, nothing will be deleted using rooting, but if you installing another rom then probably you need to clear everything full wipe on ur phone

do not worry about it just go for rooting then install titanium backup free from market and make a backup of ur applications with data

hope i answered what u were asking

cheers
