okay I followed regs guide and when I reached the part to where I have to run the command to flash the custom recovery image
regaw says it may take many seconds for it to complete
when I do it it takes less than 1 second and when I run the final command to reboot the phone into the recovery menu it simply boots up normal
I have tried booting while holding the home button and still a no go
I think the recovery image isnt flashing into my phone for some reason...
but cmd says it was successful , any help apreciated
can anyone help?
please, I've followed everything as it should be.
I've tried 3 computers(2 running XP , 1 running windows 7)
I've Hard reset the phone everytime I have tried to perform the root
Everytime I flash the recovery img it says its successful but when I place the comand to reboot into recovery my phone freezes and I have to do a battery pull.
I don't get what I'm doing wrong
I have all the files in the correct directory
I have usb debug on
I have set the phone to charge only
I have htc sync installed
any help apreciated :/
just mount your sdcard copy the recovery to it again then try to flash it once more. it could have corrupted the image on the first copy. if that doesnt work. try to download the 1.6.2. recovery image and flash that.

can you point me to where I can find that download?
Thanks I will try to mount the card now
No luck putting the files directly into the card ; ;
what else should I try?
I'm having the same issues. I'm running a brand new hero not even activated yet that has 1.5 (sprint send me new one bc couldnt revert.. didnt know root was coming) ANYWAY I need help.
I have root and I've copied damage controls zip to my sd card. I tried rebooting into recovery mode and i get an error picture so I had to reboot.
this is frustrating.. can someone give me step by step including commands that I should type? I can load the sprint 2.1 and unlock (have old version) but right now im as frustrated as all the other noob's.
it sounds so easy but im clearly doing something wrong..

Is there a way to flash one of the Cynaogen or other mods without installing the android SDK? I am not extremely technically inclined when it comes to this stuff and I am not sure I understand how to do it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
yes, most people install cyanogen rom on their phone without even touching a computer
So informative ...really
Well I attempted the SDK install and when I run ADB I dont get a list of devices. When I plug in the phone windows automatically installs drivers.
So I downloaded USBDeview uninstalled and plugged the phone back in, same drivers installed.
So where to from here?
Ok so followed all the instructions on Cyanogens page and ADB will not see my device, when I go to Start > Devices the Nexus One shows up and says Driver not installed.
I downloaded the drivers from the SDK and no luck, I added the path to environamental variables, tried again, no luck
Tried to force the driver install and manually install through windows and states the driver I am trying to install doesnt contain info about my device. Check to make sure its an x64 driver.
Running windows 7 ultimate. any ideas what could fix this?
Ok so added and renamed the proper files to recovery.img and added cynaogens mod and renamed to update.zip
Rebooted phone
Recovery Mode
Wiped
Install from SDcard update.zip
Installation failed
Where am I going wrong?
Download ROM Manager from the market and you can do it from there. I think you need the pay version too do nightlies, but the stable CM releases are available in the free version.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
1) Can I assume you are rooted?
2) Can I assume you downloaded the adb drivers from Google?
If so I don't know how to help you without telling you to download clockwork mod sorry.
This is what I did.
Downloaded and installed 1 click root from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598
Downloaded Cyanogen Rom and gapps from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722798 and saved them to my SD card.
Downloaded Rom Manger from the Market.
Ran 1 click root
Ran Rom manager, installed the clockwork recovery from rom manager.
selected install zip from sd, found zip of cyanogen and selected it.
Pressed perform back and perform wipe then press OK.
Rom Manager did its magic and installed cyanogen for me.
The phone rebooted, I opened up rom manger again and pressed install from sd card again
Found and clicked on gapps zip file. This time I didn't perform a backup or wipe(not sure if I was supposed to or not), Hit ok, then ok to reboot.
Rom Manager worked its magic again and voila I had/have Cyanongen rom with my Google apps.
I did this all last night and from memory, but I'm fairly sure those are steps I took. However if it breaks your phone its your own fault

It will pop up and says that it cant find the driver for ur phone. Go on and manually apply the driver urself then u are set.
Not sure if this will help, but check USB debugging and the one below it in phone settings/applications/development.

Phone is rooted, used 1 click root.
When I try and manually install the driver Win7 tells me the drivers I try and load do not contain information about my hardware.
Ill try Average Canadians method and see how it goes.
Thanks
Ok so I attempted this as mentioned,
Now my phone is stuck at a looping "Cynaogen Mod" screen after doing the backup from Rom Manager.
Steps Taken to This Point:
D/L One Click Root - Unrooted Phone
Ran One Click Root Again - Rooted Phone
Downloaded Clockwork Rom Manager
Set Permissions For Super User
Downloaded Cyanogen 6 RC3 + GApps
Ran backup - phone rebooted
Phone rebooted and ran a bunch of stuff got to Cyanogen (mod) loading screen (looks like a boot animation) and this is where its stuck looping.
Any Ideas?
The animation is an android on a skateboard with a blue arrow circling it and has what I will call "lightning" circling around the outside. The lightning gets about 3/4 of the way around the circle then the screen goes black and starts over.... just wanted to give a bit more information.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
OK booted into recovery, got a green screen instead of the typical blue which I am assuming is a good sign
Ran "install from sd card"
Navigated for a few minutes till i found the Cyanogen zip file (update-cm-6.0.0-N1-RC3-signed.zip)
Installed
Phone rebooted
Got to Cyanogen Mod loading screen phone rebooted again and its stuck in the loop again......
Any ideas?
Ok attempted to flash back to stock FroYo 2.2 and getting:
asster failed: file_getprop("/system/build.prop. "ro.build.fingerprint") == google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.1-update1/ERE27/24187:user/release-keys" ||
file_getprop("/system/build.prop. "ro.build.fingerprint") == google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2-update1/FRF50/38042:user/release-keys" || file
E:error in sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I am assuming I am getting this cause the update is for FR50 and not FR91?
Ok so another update
Attempted to flash 2.1.1_Downgrade and still getting same error as above just with a different file name version.
At this point I will just wait for one of you to get back to me hopefully
Ok so .. trial and error is a great way to learn
If I would have opened my eyes the first time I would have seen the "nandroid" option and just restored my backup
So after a minor freak out, and a cigarette I have regained my composure and I am in the process of a restore. Lets see what happens
Ok so phone is back to where it was when I did the backup.....
Going to attempt this again and try it with what I think was the missed step THE WIPE!
Uh oh..... got the blue screen instead of the green screen before phone wiped .... hmm guessing that when i did the restore it re-flashed the original recovery mode. So looks like I am starting over with a fresh phone ....lol
(hope this commentary isnt too annoying, but they way I see it is one day it may help another noob like myself do this on his phone )
WOOT WOOT!
So there it is! CM 6 RC3
I want to thank everyone who offered advice in this thread and to that crazy Canadian who offered a great option to get this done!

Support for both AMOLED & SLCD owners!
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!
I have put together an extensive guide on how to get root for both AMOLED & SLCD users! Rooting is now even easier than ever.
The guide is available at http://jonsuh.com/2010/11/root-your-droid-incredible-how-to/
FAQ
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 rooted before the OTA and the OTA will not install
Read my article on how to Unroot your Droid Incredible at http://jonsuh.com/2011/01/unroot-your-droid-incredible/
Then read my article on how to root.
link doesnt work
I apologize; link is fixed and should be working now.
Looking to try this, but my SD card appears to be formatted to FAT16. How do I format it to FAT32?
Edit: Spoke too soon, got it. I'll post an update when once I'm done.

Well truthfully, the OTA update doesn't do much but add more crapware. There isn't any other reports of the OTA being a significant update so you'd be safe to not even install the OTA. If you're annoyed with the reminder, if you've done all I've told you to, if you click "Install" it should just time out and not do anything and never remind you again.
Not Working For Me
This process does not appear to be working for me.
After doing all up to and including the "ADB" stuff and typing "reboot bootloader", my phone just boots to the bootloader and does nothing. I never get the prompt to process the update.
Where did I go wrong? I've tried this four times with the same results.

Did you make sure you didn't rename the file something different? It should be "PB31IMG.zip" in the root of your SDCARD.
Also did you make sure your SDCARD was formatted to FAT32? and not FAT/FAT16?
UNREVOKED 3.22 HAS BEEN RELEASED.
Get your copy at www.unrevoked.com.
This thread will be changed within the next 24 hours to accommodate the new Unrevoked. No longer need to downgrade to root.

No good.
I am running Windows 7 64-bit.
I formatted the removable sdcard to fat32 and the PB31IMG.zip file is named correctly.
I type in "./flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd0.img" and immediately get the "#" prompt after it confirms my entry.
I then type "reboot bootloader" and the phone goes to the bootloader and just sits there until I tell it to reboot.
Should I be doing all of this from the internal storage instead of the removable card?
New Info:
I just tried it again and this time instead of rebooting from the bootloader screen I selected "bootloader" and it checked the image and gave me the option to flash. I said "yes" and it is now loading the image.

Nope, you shouldn't, but no worries, the new Unrevoked version should be able to get you root without having to follow all my directions.
Just go to www.unrevoked.com/recovery then download and run the proper version.
Uh-Oh!
I think I just bricked the phone.
After saying yes to flashing the image, the phone went black and never woke up. now I can't turn it on although the soft buttons light up when I press the power button.
Is there any key combination that will get me to recovery or am I screwed?
Updated 12/2/2010
With the release of Unrevoked 3.22, I provided instructions for root for BOTH AMOLED & SLCD owners!

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...

I thinks its time to stick a fork in it.

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

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.

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.
Hi
I have been using Clockwork recovery for months and tonight was flashing ROM/zips as usual, and all of a sudden when I try to get into recovery my Nexus just sits on the colored X. When I pull the battery it reboots fine with the ROM I currently have installed. Then I go back into ROM manager, re-flash clockwork recovery: it says flash was successful, so then I choose to boot into recovery, and again it just sits at the blue, red, green and yellow X.
So then I tried a round-about way by going into ROM manager and choosing to restore a backup. Again, when I choose to restore backup it just boots to the colored X again and freezes there.
I've also tried the regular method of holding power button and trackball and get the same results.
Does anyone know why this might be happening? Right now I'm stuck with a ROM I was just playing with and didn't necessarily want to use permanently....I'm afraid I might be stuck with it forever now
Thanks for any help!!!
I've been searching and I should add that my bootloader is not unlocked
Try to flash your recovery manually, using the guide from my signature. Try Amon_RA's.

Well I ended up wiping all user data in fastboot and now I get nothing but an X nomatter what I do, won't boot at all.
All I can do is hold down the power button and trackball and get the page that says
bootloader
reboot
reboot bootloader
power down
the only way I'm going to get this fixed is to use my computer and I've never done it that way...I've always used ROM manager
I'll read the links but I think I'm screwed because a lot of this is over my head
Thanks for the links !
1) Try to follow "Unroot/restore" guide first, see if you can restore functionality using PASSIMG method. Once you have functional FRG33 with recovery, you can root it, replace the recovery and install custom ROM of your choice / update to FRG83G.
2) If nothing helps - consider a) replacing your phone, b) unlocking the bootloader and flashing recovery through fastboot.
Getting in over your head is sometimes a good way to expand your horizons
Hi Jack
Thanks for the help
I'll do some reading and see what I can do....got two feet of snow here so I guess I have the time
worst comes to worst I'm still under warranty.
Well I tried the instructions but nothing happens..it just sits on the screen with the androids skateboarding. I renamed the zip and moved it to my SD card but it doesn't seem to even search for it, let alone find it. Really wish I had not deleted storage. At least I had a working ROM at that point.
Which instructions did you try? Did you download FRG33, rename it to PASSIMG.ZIP (and not PASSIMG.ZIP.ZIP !), put it on the root of SD card and reboot to bootloader?

Hey Jack...
Sorry for taking so long to respond...I finally had to crash for awhile, my brain was frying.
Yes I did what you describe: downloaded FRG33, renamed it PASSIMG.ZIP(not ZIP.ZIP) moved it to SD card just like any ROM and held down volume and power button and came to the screen with the three androids. Then it just stayed there, nothing happened.
The only thing is I had to use my backup Nexus One(EDGE only on ATT model) to move it to the SD card as I don't know how to access the SD card with the device acting like this. If I connect the device to my computer while the three androids are on the screen, I hear it connect to the computer, but nothing pops up allowing me to access the SD card....
Like I said I'm a noob at this I appreciate you trying to help me here
About 3 seconds after the 3 androids skating appears, you should see some text flash up?
It does say you're in HBOOT and not FASTBOOT right? If in fastboot, pick the bootloader option and then it should find the file.

Hi Rusty
Sorry I somehow missed your post here. Yes I see some text flash up...takes a little longer than 3 seconds...maybe 8 seconds...
At first it says I'm in Fastboot, but then I press the power button and then it says HBOOT at the top.....that's when the text flashes on the screen. It flashes too fast for me to read it though....but nothing happens after the text flashes on the screen.
I'll be damned guys....I got it working! After responding to Rusty's post above, I decided to give the whole thing another try. Well I went thru the whole process of putting the file on the SD card and realized I had in fact renamed it zip.zip....it LOOKED like it was only ZIP, but when I clicked on the file while it was still on my PC, it said it was zip.zip...that's when I knew what the problem was.
My problem now is getting it re-rooted. Originally I used the Universal Androot application..the true one-click method...I just tried it again and it didn't work.
Is there a way to downgrade to a version where this app will work again?
Thanks guys you really helped me out here!!
Please read the guide in Wiki, and follow one of the zillion SuperOneClick threads that are around. It's really as simple as it gets - and if you happen to have Windows 7, it's even more simple - you won't need to install the drivers.

You're going to think I'm a dip**** but I don't even know what busybox is?
Let's just say it's an app that the system needs Go to Market, download and install it, try again. If it doesn't work - you can try to install custom recovery manually, using another guide from Wiki. Look in "Installing Recovery" for "For locked bootloader - flash_image using Terminal" guide. If you don't know what Terminal is - download "Android Terminal" by Jack Palevich from the Market.
Use the fix problems button in Titanium Backup to install it, long story short is it lets you use a bunch of native Linux commands that as missing from Android.
OK guys, Im not new to the android deal, or flashing, but im stuck here. I have a Sprint Hero, and I need to go back to stock. Problem is, the USB port is broken, and will only charge. So i cant enter ADB, and the phone wont boot past the HTC screen. Its rooted, and i still have root, and clockwork recovery. I cant seem to get any rom to flash though, it just hangs at the HTC screen, and I cant get the HBoot (version 1.47) to read anything. I tried renaming the extracted RUU from the sprint update to HERCIMG and it wont read it. So, anyone have any ideas???
Without usb or an s-off bootloader I think its impossible to go back to stock. Why do you need to?
can u get one of those USB SD card readers? (this way u can put ur SD card into ur computer USB port and transfer files onto it)
search around there is a HERCIMG from the ruu for HBOOT somewhere on here.
i looked real quick and found this, it may help.
moxlon69 said:
This isn't really the place for this, but these questions have already been covered, many many times..
Rooting instructions. I know this works on the latest official sprint, because I've done it successfully.
As far as not being able to RUU, some people have an issue running the RUU if they haven't ran HTC Sync. Try that and see if it works, and if not, follow this method.
HERCIMG-2.31.651.7.ZIP download it. it's the Sprint 2.31.651.7 executable but in signed zip format, for people who aren't running windows. Not sure who actually converted the executable to a signed zip, but props to you for helping those that can't run the regular RUU.
Rename the file to HERCIMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD card.
Power the phone off.
Press and hold your Volume Down button, and while still holding it press the power button to power your phone back up into HBoot mode.
HBoot should then automatically verify the zip file, and ask you if you would like
to flash it. Press your trackball to confirm the update (downgrade in this case),
or press your send button to cancel.
Once on 651.7 you would root as normal, but you should not have to RUU back to 651.7 just to root.

Just a thought, can you download the RUU onto the phone via dropbox or something similar?
Ok. I have an s off bootloader. I can't boot to any rom as it gets stuck at the htc screen. I have tried the above mentioned hercimg file (even though you cant open it, because it says the file is invalid, and I have downloaded it a number of times, so its not a download error) and hboot wont find it even after renaming. I can move files to the sd card via my computer. I have the adapter. I need to get back to something close to stock, so that i can activate the phone. I dont want to get the thread off topic though, just need help getting back there.
Check your computer's USB drivers. If you can charge it you should be able to use USB. Or use someone else's computer. Then running the ruu from HTC website will work just fine. This sounds more like the computers end then the phone. Ymmv.
®patience is a virtue©
If you are s off just flash a recovery from h boot. What bootloader version do you have?
Edit: also theres a link to an s off RUU in the links thread I started. Also, you never said why you wanted to unroot?
il, I dont even necessarilly need to unroot. But if people would please read the first post. It would help answer some of the questions.... I CAN FLASH ANY ROM, BUT NOTHING WILL BOOT PAST THE HTC SCREEN. It also says what bootloader version i have, its version 1.47. I have clockwork customer recovery version 2.5 I believe it is. HBOOT wont find any file, period. Including a recovery. And its not a computer issue, its with the USB. Trust me.
I used this when I RUU'd recently and it worked great. jasonmaloney put this up a while ago and this gem was in the middle of the thread. It broke root and I rerooted using Regaw's method this time.
H-boot should have no problem recognizing this.
Drunk, it wont read that either. It doesnt even recognize that there is a HERCIMG on the SD card. This phone is bunk. not even a week ago, it was booting AOSP rom fine, no issues. Then I went to turn it on the other day, and wont boot past the HTC screen. Not sure what the deal is with this POS. About ready to bounce it off the concrete here.

Whoa, calm the F down. My phone isn't the broken one, it's yours. Anyway, I did read the OP, but it was real early, and I missed the 1.47. AFAIK hboot cannot fail IF you build the zip correctly. Pull out the SDcard and put this recovery zip on it, then flash from hboot. Do the device erase thing in fastboot before that. I just flashed it and it went fine. It's CWM 2.5.0.1. You will to rename it to "HERCIMG.zip". Also, were you using any other mods like FR or something? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5669105/HERCIMG2501.zip
il, I have clockwork recovery 2.5. Ill try this though here in a minute and see what happens. This phone is just ticking me off something fierce.
Il, it wont find that either. I put the zip on the root of the SD, and renamed it to HERCIMG and HBOOT still doesnt recognize that there is a HERCIMG file on the SD

just to clarify, you named it HERCIMG.zip all caps and with .zip at the end? If so, maybe your card is bad or your reader in the phone is bad? Do you have another card you can try it on?
yes sir. HERCIMG.zip And its on the card, as when i boot into recovery, I can see the file there.
Man, if you can get into recovery you can fix it. Do a full wipe and flash a stable ROM, reboot, and then walk away from the phone for about 15 minutes.

See, thats what I think too, but it wont do anything but boot to the HTC screen. I have tried quiet a few roms, and get the same thing. I just left for roughly 2 hours, came back and still stuck at the HTC boot screen. Im lost brother.
OK, just a quick update. Got it fixed with the help of laei1472. The recovery was botched, that was what was not letting me flash anything. Finally got it to boot one of AOSP's earlier roms (which was the last rom it had booted, before going haywire). Then we were trying to flash RA 1.7 through terminal, but it wouldnt find flash_image. Ended up finding a file to flash it as that version of AOSP was missing the flash_image file in /system/bin. Once we got that, then I was able to flash RA 1.7, and now can flash any rom I want too. What a pain in the butt experience. But happy the phone is back up and going. Thanks again laie1472.
good to hear. glad you got it fixed
