[Droid Incredible General] drakko1980:
do I have to be on clockworkmod recovery or will any others work... i am using RA-inc-v2.2.1, just wanna know, but i'm pretty sure it doesn't matter as a prior Eris user I had switched from clockwork to amon-ra cause the usability/functionality was superior to clockwork, not only that but you have the option to run signed and unsigned zip's and since the newer clockworks have removed this option, I got tired of downloading "temp" reverts to older versions of clockwork just to install a Rom, but I used RA on the eris and had no issues in reverting back to s-on and factory using similar method as this, so should the same be said for this, or do I have to have clockworkmod?
[Droid Incredible General] fuzzynco:
I did s-on, then part 2 and all is well. It all worked as expected :).
[Droid Incredible General] drakko1980:
BTW works on RA...I took the plunge....great job on the thread
[Droid Incredible General] jakaro:
updating now, going to sell this bad boy in the morning! thanks!

worked great and fast! Off to the thunderbolt.
[Droid Incredible General] kLownish:
How do I downgrade the radio from 2.15.00.11.19. I tried the step to get down to 2.2, but after I flashed the radio the first time following the steps, when I went to install the 2.2 image, it told me the previous radio didnt flash (after it told me it was complete)
[Droid Incredible General] rlivin:
when i try to flash the pb31img in hboot i get error like wrong image. running2.15.00.07.28 radio and s-on now. anyone help?
[Droid Incredible General] drakko1980:
Did you make sure there are no other pb31img files on SD card or emmc? Also you may have got a bad dl... try redownloading
[Droid Incredible General] rlivin:
thats the only one and i have re downloaded with no luck
[Droid Incredible General] rlivin:
got it to work, used a different sd card. That was the problem> Thanks for helping
[Droid Incredible General] drakko1980:
No prob glad you got it to work.
[Droid Incredible General] rlivin:
well thought it was working, but it flashed okay now it just boots to hboot and thats all. any suggestions?
[Droid Incredible General] drakko1980:
When its done loading... is it showing a list of items and asking if you want to flash? If so just let it go... each of the items will run and show a completion mark beside it as its loaded...I made the mistake of hitting the vol. down when it asked the first time and it ended up rebooting into hboot...
[Droid Incredible General] rlivin:
must have been a bad flash, reflashed img and now its working.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible General] drakko1980:
Hmm *scratches head* well technically you're done and should reboot into stock Rom? Confused?!
[Droid Incredible General] drakko1980:
Cool... cause other than that... it should've worked.
[Droid Incredible General] PhillyCheez:
part 2 worked perfectly... Thank you!

Time to bring it back to Verizon for repair.
[Droid Incredible General] rlacrossjr:
Wow

Very nice but for the noobs out there go to this link http://www.incredibleforum.com/foru...s/5723-how-get-back-complete-stock-s-off.html

Simple and easy!!!!
[Droid Incredible General] PhillyCheez:
Curious as to why a noob can't follow the directions in the OP?

Anyways,

I am honestly shocked by verizon customer service... i was in and out of the store in 5 minutes with a replacement inc coming in 2 days shipped fedex! Way to easy.

Also, I am diggin the stock ROM! haha... totally forgot how smooth it is. Too bad the bloatware is back on... really ruins everything but I am glad to hear that HTC is officially getting rid of locked boot loaders. Now I hope they (and google) push in the right direction to allow users to uninstall bloatware as it SHOULD be optional.
[Droid Incredible General] dmeadows013:
Alright so I'm S-OFF and can't get to recovery. When I try through hboot, it puts me to fastboot. I have tried several times. How do I get into recovery?
[Droid Incredible General] :
Try just reflashing recovery.

I'd go to dougpiston and get the recovery of your choice. I use 3.0.0.7, but you will have to use 3.0.0.8 if you have an SLCD model.
[Droid Incredible General] dmeadows013:
Hehe I should have thought of that. Worked great! Thanks.
[Droid Incredible General] misterctw:
Just use Doug Piston's Website!

[Droid Incredible General] IncredibleNoob:
Doug Piston's site has now been replaced by:

I was searching all over for this earlier and it took me a while to find it, so maybe this will help someone else.

[Droid Incredible General] Resheal68:
Need to get back to stock, already s-on though.

Hello folks! This is my first reply on XDA! I rooted my Incredible about 6 months ago using unrevoked3 one step root. Then my speaker went bad so I thought I'd have to return it. I used the unrevoked3 tool to go back to s-on before removing superuser permissions and before removing clockwork mod(I'm a noob). I replaced the speaker myself, no need for return. Now my phone won't install the OTA 2.3.4 update. The update will download, but my phone will not re-boot to apply the update. I've made a mess, not sure what to do. It sounds like step 2 might work for me, but I'm not sure. I don't want to brick my phone. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible General] SlimSnoopOS:
Have you tried re-rooting via Unrevoked to get s-on then using an RUU from pvillecomp.com to restore the stock recovery image?
[Droid Incredible General] Resheal68:
I did try re-rooting using unrevoked but I received an error message. When I initially went back to s-on, the unrevoked tool said "This cannot be undone". I don't know if that statement was about the unrevoked tool or if I was s-on forever period.
[Droid Incredible General] SlimSnoopOS:
Just so I am clear, you:

are s-on

still have CWM (recovery)

still have Superuser installed

If all the above are true, the update will fail because you are not completely stock. Were you trying this method via Unrevoked? I believe this is the scenario you are presently in. Let me know if this is the same scenario you find yourself in.
[Droid Incredible General] Resheal68:
Yes. That is the scenario I am in. Not sure how to get back to stock completely given that I am not rooted now.
[Droid Incredible General] Resheal68:
Hello folks! Haven't heard from any of you lately. I'd just like to know if the situation I'm in is reversible or not. (Droid Incredible can't receive updates, s-on w/superuser and clockwork mod recovery installed) I'd appreciate any help you guys can send my way. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
If you are rooted as you say, why not just flash a rom based on the latest and final update our phones will ever get. Stock + rom or wildstangs rooted untouched ota?

Or just flash a PB31IMG.zip ruu thru hboot to regain the stock recovery, so you can recieve the ota.
[Droid Incredible General] Resheal68:
Hello, thanks for the info, but I must be understanding something wrong. I thought to be rooted my phone must be S-OFF. My phone is S-ON, I don't believe I have root access because of that. Am I wrong?
[Droid Incredible General] SlimSnoopOS:
Sorry about not responding.

Just to clarify, when you turn your phone off then hold power and volume down, can you still access recovery?

To answer your question, you can be rooted but not s-off. However you cannot and do not have root permission to make permanent system changes while s-on. I would say it's a two stage trip, stage one is using unrevoked to root your phone and stage two is attaining s-off which allows you to make system wide changes (flash roms, radios, kernels).

In the link I posted above, it details how to achieve s-off when, like you, have custom recovery and are rooted. Follow the directions and download the s-off tool under "Installation Instructions."

I would encourage you to take cmlusco's advice and flash either stock rom once you have s-off in the event you want to install another rom in the future.
[Droid Incredible General] Resheal68:
Yes, I can still access recovery.
[Droid Incredible General] SlimSnoopOS:
Any luck flashing the s-off tool through recovery?
[Droid Incredible General] Resheal68:
Sorry for the delayed response, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do what you are asking about.

Stuck

Hey everyone, I need to be spoon fed on this one. I have been in the blank screen 5 vibrate mode for 2 days after ota, I have tried every, I mean every downgrade and other option in this forum. No matter what I've tried to do, it won't fix it. I've done just about every ruu, hboot zip, and flash I could find. Can anyone spoon feed me on this as to what my next steps should be. Maybe I am missing something here. I included a gif of my boot loader. I have

HBOOT- 0.92.0000, I've changed that a few times

radio 2.15.10..07.07, changed that a few times

...look at my pic. also s-off, changed that a few times and unlocked and relocked my bootloader many times. I am stuck. Thanks in advance.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Mixalis_GR:
Hi there. I would appreciate your help here. I am a rookie with android software as I own an HTC Magic almost 3 weeks from now. My phone has the above characteristics:

SAPPHIRE PVT32A SHIP S-ON H

HBOOT-1.76.0009 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-6.35.08.29

Dec 8 2009, 17:38:48

The software I had was Android 1.5 and it was rooted with RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_3.05.401.1_test_signed_NoDriver ROM. I was watching on Youtube some videos about CyanogenMod 6 at HTC phones and I decided to try to put this software to my phone via ROM Manager. The result is a major disaster (or not?). Specifically, from my phone I opened ROM Manager, download rom, CyanogenMod nightlies , CM6 XXXXXXXX (can’t remember which one) EBI1 Kernel… So I had successfully downloaded it and followed the instructions while installing. After installation completed it automatically rebooted and started loop again and again. All it gets to is the "HTC MAGIC" screen and then reboots every 5 seconds. At the begging I thought that this is the installation process. 30 minutes later I had a doubt for this. I pulled out the battery cause pressing the Power on/off button nothing happened. I tried everything… nothing at all. I pressed the Power on/off button again it continued looping. After I pulled out and inserted the battery I pressed the Home and Power on/off button (Android recovery) it still continued looping. Removed again the battery and inserting again while pressing Back and Power on/off button (fastboot ) it still continued looping. I pressed Home and Back buttons and tapped Power on/off button… the same issue (continued looping). Down volume and Power on/off button… nothing. Up volume and Power on/off button… nada. Pulled out the battery for 30 minutes and tried again… nothing again. Tried again and again with the USB connected and disconnected… nothing. Still looping. I tried to install the previous Rom I had via PC but I couldn’t cause USB was connecting and disconnecting because of the rapid (5 second) boot loop. The only button which seems to work is the trackball which freezes everything with the blue led on and a black screen between the loops. I pressed all the buttons together wishing something to happen… unfortunately nothing happened. I backup my SD card and tried with an older backup I had… nothing… boot loop remains. I am despaired and tired (almost 18 hours online searching some help or solution). The only thing I want is to make fastboot work and install my old ROM via my PC… nothing else.

Please, please, please…. HELP ME!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] KAwAtA:
well this is a pain. Your fastboot is also locked. You should read instructions and learn a bit before just flashing whatever you please. CM6 requires old radio and a different SPL. The one you're using isn't compatible, hence the reboots. You also can't get into recovery because your radio and recovery are also not compatible. I'm assuming that rom manager did that? I'm not sure, all you new people are just running that thing and flashing away without any knowledge behind it.

I don't think you're bricked but I'm not 100% sure what to do since I've kept my bootloader unlocked to run fastboot commands (which would easily solve this situation). My suggestion is to get an RUU for your phone, update and then reroot it. Maybe someone else has a better solution but right now you don't have the right recovery and fastboot is locked. At the moment, I can't think of a better solution.

edit: ugh it's late and im sleepy! i just reread what you said, you can't get into fastboot either? If not you're probably bricked
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] vercetti:
yup, I totally agree: I remember the first time I flashed a rom over the stock version which was installed. I read every sticky thread, the whole wiki page and lots of xda threads before giving flashing a try. It's just too risky to mess up an expensive phone. Just look at all the "bricked my phone, please help" threads, that alone should make one think twice (and read, read, read) before flashing...

I hope someone can still help you. But not getting into fastboot anymore?! :-(

Sorry and good luck,

V.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Mixalis_GR:
Thanks gyes for your replies. Still I can't find a solution. The only thing I can barelly see before it boots again by pressing Back button and On/Off button is ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1.

As about the mistakes I admit that this is my fault but also I have to say that before I root my HTC I couldn't download anything from ROM Manager. After I had succesfully rooted my phone and downloaded the ROM update from my phone there was no mention about radio issues or conflicts in the installtion proccess. Even though it is my fault and I admit it. I don't mind if I loose my data (I made an SD buck up). I just want to find a way to stop this stuppid loop, make a USB connection with my PC and install my previous ROM even if I have to screw out my phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] vercetti:
as I'm not able to help you myself (I'm just a user not a developer) I can only recommend checking the "bricked phone" threads for solutions. I think I saw an "how to unbrick phone" thread somewhere. Never read it though. Probably there are many others who messed up their phone somehow and lots of solutions in all those threads. Just use the search feature and look for brick threads, solutions, help, etc. Maybe you'll find something.

Sry that I can't offer more,

Greetz,

V.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Mixalis_GR:
It's ok my friend... Thanx 4 replying
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] capychimp:
i don't know if it's related but a guy had a bad flash and had a blue trackball toom, which you mention in first post, here is his thread on what he did to fix his phone http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=649689&highlight=unbrick
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Mixalis_GR:
Nope... Nothing helpfull unfortunately! Thanx anyway

A new clue is that I left my HTC magic to boot loop while the usb cable was connected with my PC dinging in and out while rebooting and after 10 minutes it stoped rebooting (it happened one's more yesterday). No button combination is responding (the trackball also) even if I keep pressing them over a minute continuesly. Also no led is lighting even if it is on USB connection. I ashume that if I remove and putt back the battery it will start again the boot loop as it happened yesterday. So I will leave it as it is and try later to restart...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Mixalis_GR:
Nothing... Started boot loop again
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Mixalis_GR:
Today I gave my Magic to HTC Service. It was confirmed that the electronic circuit was "dead" and it had to be replaced. If I'm lucky maybe I wont pay a dime. It depends if the software I had on was Android compadible or not. If not then... better not think about it!

Any help is appreciated.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Quincux:
Coreplayer!, supports Qtv acceleration. HTC Album also is good player, support Qtv and easy of use. TCPMP is slow for high bitrate or high resolution videos, not support Qvt aceleration but support external subtitles.

Anybody have experience with this app? I can't get this to work really. I mean, I'm pretty tech saavy and it seems pretty straight forward, but it doesn't function. The only thing I can really think of is that I'm running the latest DX 2.2 leak and I'm thinking that may be the issue for whatever reason... or maybe just the fact I'm using a DX and things may be different. I dunno... anybody?

Ok so there is many varieties of android builds for the hd2.

FOR ALL OF YOU WHO HAVNT EXPLORED THEM.

They all have their defaults. Most of them which ive experienced were touch screen freezes.

Ive tried shubcrafts build, mccm's, froyo, etc. All of them had this problem. Ive used different roms as well to go with these builds but they didnt help. They are all not perfect so dont expect to have a fully funtional android build on your hd2. MOST OF THEM ARE DECENT DOUGH :) Im currently using superhd2's build. Credit goes to him as well as all the other builds ..

Hey guys ,

I've been developing a tips application for Halo Reach over the past week or so. It's on the market now.

I've ran into a problem on one of my builds. I am force closing every time I try to open the scroll view with a linear layout that has image buttons. It's two activities deep into the app. I know the problem is I'm missing something in the manifest file. I currently have it added as an activity but I can't figure out what else it needs to work. When I comment out the onClicklistener stuff for the image buttons it no longer force closes.

Does anyone know what line of code needs to be in the manifest file to fix this? My code will be up soon to show you.
