I know this seems like the most retarded question ever, but can anyone point me in the right direction? Yes, I've used search and the results were all bogged down with trivial crap. I want to root my Incredible so I can use a Gingerbread ROM. I'm completely ignorant when it comes to rooting and crap, so could someone preferably point me towards a beginners guide? Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morph3k:
visit www.unrevoked.com and download their tool. it's very simple, read the instructions, if you're on windows install the correct drivers and just hit the button. but please read the FAQ and readme carefully and if you don't understand something feel free to PM me because I might not see this thread and i'll help you as best I can.

Edit: Any question like this messing with your phone is not stupid. This is a great community with knowledgable people and we all started out in the same boat. Ask questions you need to ask and I guarantee you a dozen people atleast will try to help you out bud.

How does one un root the device?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morph3k:
You use a RUU and flash it like a radio through your update. It will set your phone back to just like you got it from verizon. No CWM, ROM, Kernel, any evidence of tampering. It's the best thing to do if you break your phone. Although I sent my old one in that I bricked without doing it and they sent me a new one and never said anything.

You download the file and make sure it is named exactly PB31IMG.zip

then:

1. Put the PB31IMG.zip onto the root of your SD card

2. Turn your phone off (not reboot)

3. Hold volume down and the power button until your phone boots up into HBoot

It will ask you if you want to update, press volume up to update.

Then once it finishes it will ask you if you want to reboot, press volume down.

You need to be very careful doing this, while it is a simple process if the is at all corrupt or you interrupt the update you will brick your phone and won't be able to use it at all.

I've used a RUU with flashing WM,is it the same idea? Does one use a computer to flash, or is the RUU on the phone and flash off the SD card? I do appreciate you helping us newbees to android.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morph3k:
I am not sure what "flashing WM" is. I am no expert at Android. I've had mine for 3 months but it's very addicting and i strive to learn more always and people were willing to help me and gave me the feeling that none of my questions were stupid. I hope I can make others feel the same.

You put the RUU on your SD card on the phone. The link I posted will go through it step by step but basically you just load the RUU (PB31IMG.zip) to the main directory of your SD card, power off, volume down + power button and press volume up when it asks you to update and most importantly DO NOT interrupt it. Make sure your battery isn't going to die, your battery won't accidently dislodge and if it seems like its frozen just let it sit there and seem like it is. It is very important not to interrupt radio's and RUU's
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doug piston:
Their are 2 options one like posted above that is flashed through hboot from the sd card or the RUU which is a Windows PC based .exe. You can find both with instructions here http://dougpiston.com/?p=7

I Recently *Rooted* My Girlfriend's "HTC Droid Incredible" & *NOTE* This Was After The "OTA" Was Sent Out!! Lol!! I Say This Because Alotta Advice, & Posts I Read Didn't Work If You Received That "DAMN OTA"

But Finally, The Method That Worked For Me Was The *NEW* Method From "Unrevoked-Forever"

I Think I Was The 3.22 Method, But Can't Remember For Sure!!

Anyway, All You Have To Do Is Download: The Boot Drivers, The Unrevoked-Forever Zip., & The 3.22 Zip (Or Whatever The Newest Version Is Now)??

Then Install The "HBootDrivers" To Your Computer!! Follow The Video On The *unrevoked.com* Website!!

Then Open The File 3.22 File, & Click The Top Left File Button, Make Sure USB Debugging Is Enabled Settings/Applications/Development, Connect Your Phone & Let It Run!!

*Note* It Will Look Like It's Not Doing Anything, But It Is, Let It Run!

It Takes About Fourty Minutes To Complete & Will TELL YOU WHEN IT'S FINISHED!!

if you are running eclipse on linux you will have to add your cellphone´s vendor to /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules for eclipse to recognize it

just google: 51-android.rules eclipse vendor device and you will get the whole list of vendors and how to set up the rules according to your distro

if you are on mac or windows im clueless cause i´ve never try it there...

on windows i´m guessing you have to have the drivers installed, on mac probably is something like on linux

Currently at 102.2F as reported by setcpu widget while plugged in and using it for the past half hour or so. Seems kinda high to me, what's everyone elses experience?
[Droid 2 General] kwheel596:
Well when its plugged in it will be warmer than normal. Right now my phone has been on with constant texting and random other usage all day long and I am at 80.6 degrees
[Droid 2 General] aeidian:
My phone stays in the mid 90s and early 100s with regular use. It only gets in the 80s if I leave it completely alone for an hour or so.
[Droid 2 General] phrozen87:
I stay mostly in the 80s and can get into the 90s with heavy use. Don't think I've ever passed 100, but there's a chance something like psx4droid could have pushed me up. I average about 86F.
[Droid 2 General] aeidian:
I do, its set to 800mhz when charging. 600mhz if it gets above 104F regardless of charging or not. Leaving it alone on the charger for the last half hour the temp shows 92F. Just firing up Xda app and typing this out the temp has jumped to 98F in about a min of use.
[Droid 2 General] vagely:
Are you guys using SetCPU for profiles and overclocking, or are you just using it for checking temps and current speed?

These are the droids you are looking for.
[Droid 2 General] phrozen87:
I was using it to check temps for this but I use 2 profiles, which may help my temps (def helps my batt). The default profile is 1000 max, 300 min, on demand. The other is when my screen is shut off, 300 max, 300 min. I've found this has saved me a pretty sizeable chunk of battery. I tend to listed to music 7-8 hours a day and while it doesnt need full CPU it will use it if it gets the chance. Restricting the proc to 300 off has never caused any issues and I can get from 8am - 4 or 5pm staying over 70% battery ;) I have the unstable apps overclock and used it for a while, but kinda came to the conclusion that I can't really justify needing to overclock yet as I never see any lag. I guess if I run into any lag at some point I'll prob clock back up to 1.3 or so.
[Droid 2 General] aeidian:
I did overclock, but it ran way too hot, like 107F during normal use and didnt get below 100 dormant. 1gig is high enough to me. I have it set to underclock when charging or when below 50% battery or when above 104F.

Ok, since this if my first Android device (received as a gift), I'm not going to give up on it! I've been reading, here on XDA and other forums, and found a ton of other information, but nothing seems to pretain to the Next2.

Found a bit of hope on a thread following the Next3 on androidtablets.net (I'm still a low level forum user, so not outside links yet.) Unfortunately, I tried running the generic root tool Universal Androot with no success (still no root access).

I'm also having trouble due to the fact that the pad has no PHYSICAL home, back, settings, etc buttons. It seems to negate a lot of the basic rooting applications out there.

I realize this tablet isn't the most amazing and spectacular device available, but it has some potential, and I'd like to see what it can do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My computer wont recognize my phone at all, it just says 'USB device not recognized'. I have tried reinstalling drivers, using different USB cables, USB debugging mode, mass storage mode and mounting the SD card ALL of that.. so I know it's something wrong with the phone rather than my drivers or me being stupid. I have searched to try and find a fix for this but nothing is forthcoming.. I think it may be a faulty USB port on my phone.

Anyway, this means I can't use ODIN to flash my phone back to stock so what I want to do is flash my phone back to stock T959UVJI6 using a zip file and ROM manager if possible.. but I have looked everywhere and can't find a zip for stock ROM... Every method I've seen says to use ODIN which is impossible for me.

Would it be possible to grab the UK English language from a Nexus S system dump and "import" it to my Vibrant (if so, how do I do it)? Or is it just a feature in Gingerbread that I'll have to wait for a proper port to get?

Firstly, I'd like to apologize if this info is already somewhere on this forum or the web but I've searched endlessly since yesterday trying to find an answer to this.

The gist:

- Rooted evo using unrevoked3

- Stock info: hboot .97; radio 2.15.00.09.01; kernel 2.6.32.15-ge2fb08e

build 3.29.651.5; pri version 1.77_003; prl 60670

- Flashed CM6.1.1 rom > tried to flash to a myn rom and had issues flashing going through ROM manager or through bootloader, screen kept freezing on white screen

- Somehow it came to be that the phone would endlessly loop on the bootloader screen and I couldn't get the CM6 rom to load either

- Ended up using a RUU (Supersonic_WWE3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_NV_1.4044signed)

- Now the hboot is .93 and bootloader shows S-OFF but I dont have root access for some reason. I've tried doing the unrevoked3 process but even after uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and that whole process the unrevoked3 program would not recognize my phone being connected to the computer and in device manager it showed my phone as a portable storage device instead of under android phone like the first time around

I have no idea what to do to regain root so I can flash roms on it again, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceg1792:
Try reloading factory settings then go through root process.

Then flash a ROM using ROM manager (its what I use).

Or just load into bootloader and install .zip from there. Another easy way to flash new ROM.
