With the release of Unrevoked 3.22, I provided instructions for root for BOTH AMOLED & SLCD owners!

Enjoy :)

Is there any way to get the phone back?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00gl3:
You can try to hold volume down and the power button to get back into hboot. That may get you back to a workable position.

Hope that help...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ozone777:
Already tried all the standard key combos with no success.

I thinks its time to stick a fork in it.

Time of death...3PM.

This doesn't mean I won't try again with the replacement Verizon sends out to me.

Gotta get back on the horse.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jsuh:
Pull the battery out put it back in and turn it back on (u said that it was an slcd?). U mentioned that the soft keys turn on right? Have u tried re running unrevoked with the new recovery mod for slcds? Look at my site for directions.

It may b that unrevoked would still recognize ur phone being plugged in and rerun the root process with the proper recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] brunswick240:
The 3.22 works great. The one thing I kept getting hung up on was after I installed the drivers by going into device manager etc etc was that windows was still asking me to install hardward drivers for usb device... so I followed along with windows and installed the driver again. Immediately after I installed the drivers for the second time unrevoked picked up my phone and started the process. It went all the way through and went to "done." (forgot to remove the PB31IMG.zip from trying to push the downgrade before - so it tried loading the update and failed...all I had to do was choose dont reboot, that brought me back to the hboot screen then unrevoked picked it back up).

The one problem I kept running into was that the new 3.22 unrevoked wouldnt pick my phone up even after I installed the drivers with device manager etc. So I tried a few different computers...still nothing and still asking me a second time to install the drivers. After I installed the drivers the second time everything was smooth from there.

Ozone, what you have is known as an "SLCD Brick" and is very easy to fix (I actually had to do it last night myself with the help of a guy by the name of Doug Piston.....he saved my phone!

What is happening is the phone is still working like it should, but the screen is just staying turned off.

Follow these directions and you should be back up and running in less than about 10 mins! :)

First you'll need HTC sync to run the RUU. Get it and install it from here:

http://www.htc.com/us/support/droid-incredible-verizon/downloads/

Next step is the 3.26 RUU. You can find it in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829783

Install the sync then run the RUU and shortly after starting the RUU, you should see the screen turn back on with HTC on it! :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Doug8307:
Sorry if this has been asked (and answered) before, but here's my set up:

-AMOLED DInc manually updated to Froyo

-Rooted with Unrevoked 3.21 BEFORE November update

-Periodically getting popup to install Nov. update which then counts down from 10 but never really does anything.

Now here's my question.. Will Unrevoked 3.22 apply that update or bypass it? Any idea how this will affect future updates?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crizznaig:
not working... :(

I keep getting

ERROR: n = -1, errno = 19 (No such device)

I'm on linux, and I've tried running it as sudo and i've also resorted to trying it as root

warrants the same error and hangs at "Waiting for root..."

----------------------

EDIT: OK SCRATCH THIS... I think I had downloaded unrevoked prior to them updating it, and used the wrong file...

WORKED and am now rooted, thanks much for this stuff

Hey thanks for the guide!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Zerox8610:
Well I ran Unrevoked with my custom recovery. it gets to the point where it says "Rebooting to Recovery" then it says "Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted ty again"

Yes I have SLCD, i did everything on the guide. The other thing i wanted to know is, how do i go back on the recovery menu??
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crizznaig:
so my question is if I wanted to use the clockwork rom manager, will it make me install the recovery that comes with that and will that mess my current setup.. I ask because I have slcd... thnx

2nd questoin... Do we need to run unrevoked forever if we ran unrevoked3?

just checking... i'm new to the incredible scene, but not new to android (had an original G1)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jsuh:
Someone else may be able to help you with the recovery issue; I'm assuming that it might screw it up since the recoveries are different unless ROM manager has implemented both.

Unrevoked 3 provides S-OFF so you don't need to run Unrevoked Forever.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] corypaul:
Can someone provide a mirror to the recovery image Dr slcd dinc' s because it wont download
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crizznaig:
thanks... yeah i've just avoided using ROM manager as i dont need it... i'm comfy enough w/ my ADB experience from my G1

also ... good to know about unrevoked forever and not needing to do it..

thanks for the work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bradx8148:
I have an AMOLED DInc and just rooted. When I try to boot into recovery I just get a black screen with white bars on the screen. I can reboot the phone and it boots up normally I just can get into recovery... any suggestions?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jsuh:
With the release of Unrevoked 3.31, DINC owners are now able to obtain root and S-OFF with the Nov OTA and it also supports recoveries for both AMOLED and SLCD users!

Blank Recovery Screen Issue

For those of you coming across the issue of the blank/black recovery screen:

Do NOT boot straight into recovery with Volume Up+Power.

Boot into HBOOT FIRST with Volume Down+Power.

Then select RECOVERY from the HBOOT menu.

I hope I'm in the correct forum...

I have rooted and flashed VirusROM on my HTC EVO 4G. I used to be able to use Sprint's Hotspot app to tether Wifi to my carputer. I was using it Thursday on the way to my in-law's place for Thanksgiving. I left and then could not get it to work again. The computer connects and the signal is at full strength but all browsers say "Page cannot be displayed" and my weather updates down load anymore. I tried using other computers/devices and all connect but none show an internet connection. I can use Google Maps, send/receive pics and videos, and use the internet on my EVO but I cannot share it. Did Sprint cut me off? Is there a setting I mistakenly changed?? I was under the impression that I can tether for free when its rooted. I even download to different tether apps and got the same results. Anybody have any suggestions? Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in advance...

-Greg
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casual864:
Although I am not using wifi tether, I am using the built in wireless tether through Miui. It is working flawlessly on my Mac. I suggest you change your SSID and maybe your password. If no success delete your network settings and try again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greg.dassing:
I've never heard of Miui. I'll try that next. I already tried changing the SSID, the passwords, and even the encryption type and nothing worked...I'm gonna go back and try it all again. Thanks for the input, dude!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greg.dassing:
Didn't know Miui was a ROM...I like the way I have everything set on Virus so I was hoping to not have to change ROM's. Thanks again though! Please keep suggestions coming, guys!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
Try this link, not sure which one will work for you but the pre-14 works for me. Just try each one untill you find one that works on your ROM, sorry I can't point you to ont that I know will work on that rom. I know the link says Nexus one but they will work on the Evo just fine. Most of these act just linke a router, not an ad-hoc.

That was one of the other tether apps I tried...that and barnacle...I downloaded and tried it again and it still didn't work...thanks for the info!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
Did you try several of the releases, I had to try several before I found one that worked. Sorry couldn't help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greg.dassing:
I tried the top 3 but none worked...I don't think thats the problem though because tethering worked up until Thursday and then it stopped for all apps. I had that app working before...thanks again
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
One last ditch effort, try changing the channel to channel one in one of the wireless tether app, just saw a post where this fixed the problem for some people. Good luck
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greg.dassing:
Sprint's HotSpot and Wifi Tether don't give the option and Barnacle was already set on Channel 1 :/ Thanks though
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
Wireless tether is what I was talking about I use pre 14, just open the app and menu/settings, its the 4th option down.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greg.dassing:
I don't know how I missed that option. I went in and changed it to Channel 1 but no change...my roommate came home and sparked up his Incredible's hotspot and it worked perfectly of the bat...something has got to be wrong with my EVO :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadm424:
does your evo say that a device connected and does it show that anything downloaded under the wireless tether app mine used to get stuck at just over 1kb of data then i modded my framework_res.apk and somehow i can tether again
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greg.dassing:
It does seem to stay on a very low KB like 1.1...although it does show the devices that are connected...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadm424:
Mine did the exact same thing although im not entirely sure what I did that fixed this I edited the xml code for the notification bar and edited the notification bar which somehow caused my tethering to work
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greg.dassing:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greg.dassing:
Any other thoughts?? Is there a way to test to see if the actual hardware failed?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheNexxuvas:
Chiming in here, although I haven't run across this yet in my office, has the carputer network connection been deleted and then a brand new connection re-established?

That'd be my start if you can connect everything BUT that 1 computer with no issues, then something changed on the carputer and the connection may need to be made fresh so to speak.

When a customer comes in and 3 devices connect just fine, but their 4th connection fails I check 2 things...on the standard app how many devices are picked 1-8 to allow connection and I change it to the max of 8, and then 2, if they brought that troubled device in I go the route of Opening the Network and Sharing Center of that device, find the currently established connection, Remove, then make it do a FRESH search for all available connections, find your phone, then re-establish a new one.

This ends up fixing it.

Good Luck and let us know.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greg.dassing:
Its every device that connects but doesn't seem to share the interent...I'll go through your suggestion to the letter and report back...thanks for the reply!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greg.dassing:
I started testing on my Mac in the house. I went to airport and deleted all remembered networks. Then I went into the Sprint HotSpot app and changed the allowed users to 8 and changed my SSID and password and it didn't work. I went back to the app and changed the allowed users back to 2 and it still didn't work...gonna check my XP carputer when I'm in the car next...

[G2 and Desire Z General] slyydrr:
I apologize if this has been brought up before, but I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this with their G2/DZ.

I seem to not have any anti-aliasing when using LauncherPro. I'm not sure if this problem extends beyond LauncherPro, but the icon outline along w/ the notification counts have borders that are clearly not anti-aliased.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Ben
[G2 and Desire Z General] ibemad1:
Can we have a screenshot? Or at least a picture? I can't exactly understand what you're asking...
[G2 and Desire Z General] slyydrr:
Sorry about that. Here you go.

It's not the easiest to see with the first screenshot, but both the outlines of the Contacts Icon (when selected) and the notification counter for Gmail lack anti-aliasing. I don't remember this being an issue on my N1.

The second screenshot it's a bit more apparent...
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
Mine does that too. I'll check my MTS when I get home and if it does that too. its seems to only do so on oddly shaped icons like contacts...
[G2 and Desire Z General] slyydrr:
Hmm, upon further inspection, it seems that the same thing is happening on my N1. It just wasn't nearly as easy to notice.
[General Topics] mrsato:
So, my wife is eligible for an upgrade (Sprint). She doesn't care about the power phones like the Evo (which is what I have) or the Epic, she just wants a "nice" phone that takes good pictures, and has a flash. So that means at least 3mp, preferably 5+. I thought the Transform was perfect, but they want $149 for upgrade, which I can also get an Evo for... so doesn't make sense, and she doesn't want to pay that much anyway (not to mention the extra $10/mo the Evo and Epic require).

I'm kind of left scratching my head here. Why is it so hard to get an intermediate Android phone with a flash... for $50 or less?

I have one option I'm considering, which is getting the Optimus S through upgrade (free today), and just selling it, and using the proceeds to buy a new Samsung Instinct HD off of eBay. I need to be sure that the ESN on the Optimus will still be good though. Price-wise it should work out fine, and the Insinct HD has a 5mp camera with flash. She currently is using the original Instinct, which she's fine with, except for the photo quality and lack of a flash.

Also, what I'd really like to know is, if there is something coming down the pipe for Sprint soon that will fit the bill, or at least cause the price of the Transform to drop. Anyone know?:confused: Or anybody know how to get a Transform for free, or no more than 50 bucks?
[General Topics] mrsato:
Aw, come on guys, no response? Help me out here! Please?

So, anyway, I'm in process on this already. I got the Optimus free as an upgrade, and am selling it unopened on eBay and it looks like I'll get north of $200 for it, and the auction ends this afternoon.

Last night the wife brings up another wish for her new phone, in addition to the flash... speech to text. She wants to be able to send a text message while driving - i.e., no typing. Of course Vlingo takes care of this is high fashion, but that's Android only (at least certainly not on... whatever OS that Instinct HD uses). So before I buy that thing, I'm wondering if you guys know of a Sprint Android phone that has a flash.

I am considering the possibility of getting the Transform, which I should be able to get for maybe around 200-ish used, or around $250 new, if I'm patient and lucky. But she doesn't care about the slide out keyboard, and she'll be nervous about my selling her old Instinct to make up the difference in cost. But I can't think of another Android phone, on Sprint, that has a flash! What's up with that anyway!? Do you guys know of one? Please help, quick!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jsdrifts:
Hello all,

after reading and searching a few hours about this, I have to make a new thread because I cant manage to make it work.

I have got an cable internet connection at work, and and samsung galaxy. I want to use my computers internet connection to get my galaxy online. There seems to be something like an ad hoc internet connection which can be shared over wifi using connectify. The problem although is that this can only be used with windows 7 and unfortunately my work pc is still XP...

My previous phone was an HTC HD2, and now I was satisfied with the galaxy, but when the HD2 was connected with active sync, it automatically used the pc's internet connection.... Huge fail in my opinion!

any suggestions here to make it work?

thank you!

Hi

Nice thread.

Actually I've been using a WinMob since last many years and now shifted to SGS.

WM 2002-WM6.5 all when connected via usb to PC use PC internet connections. No tethering or reverse of the same is required. This is painfully missing in android phones, I've checked with HTC desire also.

SMS management also in WM was much better and advances, You can have drafts, sent, outbox separate storages and folders. I had over 300 msgs in drafts, here no such option.:o

I've found that if battery is above 30 celsuis internal gps stop working and the only way to get it back is lover the temperature which is hard when you're driving

I've also got an bluetooth gps and works perfect no problems with this device maybe there is a problem with rom what do you think???

BTW I'm just downgrading Rom will post info is there any difference
