[Droid Incredible General] Nitrogenus:
Would the old downgrade and root process work? I upgraded my stock INC to 2.2 before Unrevoked worked on it. I went through a fairly painless, albeit time-consuming, process of downgrading to 2.1, rooting, and then installing 2.2.

I would think the process could be utilized here, the only difference being specific files used. One may even be able to follow the process as is. The end result would be S-OFF, which would allow you to do whatever you wanted (upgrade to 2.2 + recent OTA, install custom ROM, etc)

If anyone gets this to work, please let everyone know.
[Droid Incredible General] XGaSpAcHo:
in for answer
[Droid Incredible General] lthomp6406:
tried it out, didn't work. the su trick with rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin does not work.
[Droid Incredible General] tjamscad:
how to see page 3
[Droid Incredible General] blackwolf77:
Standing by!!!!! Will it work with s-on?
[Droid Incredible General] tjamscad:
It shouldn't matter s-on or off. I have the SLCD screen don't know if it will make a difference. Just FYI
[Droid Incredible General] blackwolf77:
I am s-on with slcd screen. can't wait to give it a go!
[Droid Incredible General] lthomp6406:
also patiently waiting with s-on and slcd.

I was just at the verizon store ready to return for a fascinate when I read your post and left. I hope you are on to something!
[Droid Incredible General] dadsterflip:
patiently waiting for your result! ive tried several downgrade but no luck lol. so hopefully you have a way better idea than mine.

i know some people are editing build.prop to stop the pop up ota. there a way to make it think that the new version is old so we can upgrade to the stock 2.2? maybe?
[Droid Incredible General] maxnic:
Oh my god. I'm dying for this fix too!!! I thought I had gotten it to work myself, but no luck...
[Droid Incredible General] tjamscad:
Faster method than i had done before. s-off only good luck

Install this http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/recovery/clockworkmod/PB31IMG.ZIP PB31IMG.zip on to the root of your SD card. (Formatted FAT32)

Boot into Boot into HBOOT

Turn phone off

When it opens it will automatically start loading PB31IMG.zip file it will ask if you want to install it.

Press Power for yes

Wait

When it asks for you to reboot vol up for yes power to select it

It will reboot

Download a file manager from market and delete PB31IMG.ZIP from SD card

Run the RUU from Shipped-Roms, located here: http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Incredible (mine was the 2.15.. release)

It will give an error select it is ok just continue.

When done run clockworkmod reflash package
[Droid Incredible General] dadsterflip:
ok it doesnt ask me to install...... it jsut checks pb31img and thats it...
[Droid Incredible General] tjamscad:
doesnt ask does it give a message of any kind
[Droid Incredible General] doug piston:
Your fix is for s-off devices only. Can't flash a anything unsigned through hboot unless you have an unlocked bootloader. Can't get the unlocked bootloader without root.
[Droid Incredible General] dadsterflip:
nothing. just checking and thats it..
[Droid Incredible General] maxnic:
Aw Dang it! I can confirm what Doug says is true, without even running through the steps. The new OTA checks something that just quits it now before the recovery can be done.

SO...does anyone know if trying to apply an update.zip and downgrade to the initial 2.2 will work properly? Maybe put the phone in an inconsistent enough state that it will take these steps at that point???

I've tried it, but I've run into the Status 7 error message...and I'm not confident in flashing the radio for 1.x in the steps I've found....so if there's some way to get around the error we'd be able to use that to downgrade again...
[Droid Incredible General] tjamscad:
Doug can you apply an older signed bootloader?
[Droid Incredible General] nkgilley:
@tjamscad You can't use an older signed bootloader, at least not without modifying it. It returns an error message with status 7. There is a problem with the key
[Droid Incredible General] dadsterflip:
guess the new ota is tougher to crack huh?

thought htc was somewhat a hacker friendly?
[Droid Incredible General] tjamscad:
If you edit the bootloader will that remove the signature
[Droid Incredible General] lthomp6406:
yes...i just modified it and the signature verification failed
[Droid Incredible General] tjamscad:
ok i changed my method for re-rooting by alot of steps, caould some one with s-on try runing just the stock ruu http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Incredible (mine was the 2.15.. release) I recived and error when i ran it last time but it continued throught it
[Droid Incredible General] dadsterflip:
I've tried the stock rom. It just checks and doesn't even ask you to install it and some version hboot just say its an older version and forces you to restart. Just doesn't make sense why you couldn't Down grade or mess with your build.prop so it recognizes the software on your phone as an old version and upgrade to the ruu.
[Windows Phone 7 General] candersen:
Is it posible to install windows mobile 6.5 on an windows phone 7 or android phone ?

I ask this because we are dropping support for windows phone but it is going to take a while for us to do the port to android and our clients are having trouble geting devices that can run our current software.

Regards Christian
[Windows Phone 7 General] Andrmgic:
Nope. Not possible.

Why would you expect your customers to hack their devices to install WM 6.5 just to run your company's software (which would kill their warranty for the device) even if it was possible?
[Windows Phone 7 General] tboy2000:
Huh! Why would someone buy a windows phone only then to install wm 6.5 or whatever? If they wanted 6.5 they would not have bought a windows phone 7 in the first place and bought the older phones.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
People seem to think phones are like PCs... They aren't.

Downgrading is easy. Bring the WP7 devices back and get HD2s or Tilts/TouchPro's, etc. Samsung Jacks or Epix if you're into that formfactor.
[Windows Phone 7 General] candersen:
I would never expect anyone to do this on my request

it was actulaly the client that asked me My only reply was that I would look into it

regards Christian Andersen
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
Its not possible but on the bright side, there will be a big update in Jan :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
why are you dropping support for 6.5? and why not make a wp7 port, from what I've heard, it's not that hard.
[Windows Phone 7 General] candersen:
There are a few reasons that we cant port to Windows Phone 7.

The main reason is the same reason why.

Firefox and Skype will not be avalible on Phone 7.

Our code base is cross platform and is written in C++.

and even if we wanted to develop in something like silverlight or XNA the lack of database and sockets would stop our application dead.

So we are dropping all windows development and are moving our mobile platform to Android and IPhone

I want snapdragon, no slideout keyboard, and cdma (verizon customer).

Optimally, I'd want a proper d-pad on the front, but I think those are a thing of the past.

I gave my best friend and my girl their own ringtones so I knew if they were texting or calling me instead of someone I really don't give a **** about. Well my girls works just fine every time...but my friends on the other hand does not. I have checked, double and even triple checked to make sure I'm setting the right thing and it's definitely choosing that ringtone...I've even tried different ones to make sure it wasn't just that sound file being messed up and it does the same thing.

What happens is that when he texts or calls me it makes a camera snapping sound...or if you've ever used the app ShootMe...it makes the exact same sound that app does when it takes a screenshot....

I can't figure it out...I'm thinking of deleting him as a contact and then adding him again and seeing if that will work but if it doesn't is there any other ideas someone might have to fix it??

Guess I should also say that I'm running Cognition 2.4.1

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] worldishis:
Hello all. Im using Chuckdroid rom with the new radio 2.15 (although the problem still existed with 2.14) and Mdeejay Froyo revolution android.

I had this issue spring up unexpectedly. I had been using Mdeejay's previous version for a day or two with no issues. Then all of a sudden the audio stopped working. I tried updating the radio first to 2.15 from 2.14. Then I tried rebooting after initial launch because it was Froyo. Then I tried updating the Android version to the newer one Mdeejay had. Still nothing.

When it first boots there is sound if I press volume up. Then nothing.

Any thoughts? Is this because of Froyo? Am I missing something?

Any Fix or workaround? How can I get the Sound to work again?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] worldishis:
Im at a loss. Ive never had an issue I couldnt figure out until now. Next thing Im going to do when I get home is change the kernel. If that doesnt work then a different rom. If that doesnt work, I guess change the radio to 2.12 or before. Other than that I dont know what to do. Maybe format and start over. :(

I wish somebody would weigh in with this.

Not enough space for music db. Delete some items

For those of you getting the above error, I have fixed it. Seems the database file can get corrupted and you need to remove the DB files and rerun media scanner.

In Root Explorer got to /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.media and remove all the files in there. There should be 3, 2 are .db files and 1 is a journal file. Then re run media scanner (i use the switch pro widget to run it again) or reboot the phone, which is probably the better option as it will rescan all SD's instead of just the external one.

Then launch media player or video player and everything should be back to normal.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rred:
This does not address the problem if the music player(s) crashing when there are "too many artists" (65?) in the music library, does it?

Not an issue of library size, but all it takes is a half dozen CDs of "various artists" to crash the music player. I suspect 64 or 128 was somehow set as "enough", the same way the volume control is merely 16-bit. (0-15)

This did not work for me. Followed the exact procedure, but after deleting the files, then rebooting to have the media indexed again, still get the same error "not enough space....". I repeated it a couple times to make sure I didn't screw it up. I have ~13gb on the internal SD card.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tof3:
Solved!

I had the same problem, "artists form" had the message : not enough space ...

I knew what mp3-files I added just before, and the problem seems to be the "album-name". I added the album of Tori Amos, which is a double-cd.

I had the album-names : "To Venus And Back - CD1" and the albumname "To Venus And Back - CD2".

After the failure message I removed the mp3-files of "To Venus And Back - CD2" and there was no problem anymore. Maybe the name is too long and too much like CD1, what the database can't handle, but the problem is solved now.

(I have Sandisk, 32 GB, Android 2.1, Samsung Galaxy S)

So, check your album-names!

you just can switch Lock.ogg/TW_Unlock_Glass.ogg file located system/media/audio/ui folder

and reboot

edit. it's case sensitive!!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] taha_e:
The name of the files are case sensitive, when you want to overwrite the original file it should follow the same. for example if you copy unlock.ogg it doesn't work it should be Unlock.ogg with capital U. give it a try

With this you can easy flash the ROM...or switch in to the recovery...

[Desire HD Android Development] RaiderX303:
That will also work, downloadable from market, requires the test recovery flashed not just fastbooted, it will detect it as clockwork mod unknown tho so cannot download updates through rom manager

you need to download my clockworkmod recovery image from the thread linked above and flash it via fastboot, the HD isnt officially supported by clockwork mod yet so wont show in the app
