DO NOT DO!! DEPRECATED!! Loading a custom recovery on the Incredible

consider this thread deprecated, will keep the original post here for historic sake, and maybe it will help someone down the road
there are way easier ways to do this now
please do not try any of this
if you do decide to do anything on this thread, it is at your own risk
you have been warned
Code:
get:
[url]http://www.droidaftermarket.com/koush//test/inc.zip[/url]
[url]http://www.droidaftermarket.com/koush//test/keys[/url]
1. Boot to recovery with adb (if u dont know how...learn)
2. Run the unrEVOked method to get an adb shell, then do su to get # (if u dont know how...learn)
3. push the inc.zip to /sdcard/update.zip
4. push the keys file to /sdcard/keys
5. Do:
/system/bin/mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /system
/system/bin/rm /res/keys
/system/bin/cat /sdcard/keys > /res/keys
/system/bin/ps recovery // note the pid of it
/system/bin/kill <pid>
6. Vol+ and Power to get menu again
7. Vol - then power to run the update.zip
8. Profit!
Big thanks to the unrEVOked team and koush for making this happen!
This method does not stick, it is only good until reboot, but adb works now so have fun
Some problems with accessing /data and some other stuf, but well get it sorted out

i have rooted my phone and was able to get the adb shell working originally; however it seems that now when i get back into adb shell in recovery i am not able to run adb shell to get su....any thoughts? I just continue to get -exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
my apologies for being such a n00b...i got it!

WOW
Worked like a charm

You need to go through the rooting process again, since we can't flash recovery yet, for anyone that was wondering. At least up until the point where you inject the payload.

Has anyone managed to use the nanadroid backup option with this recovery? It seems to backup ok and I can see the backup on my sd card, but if you try and restore, it says:
Code:
Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 mismatch!
This even happens when doing an advanced restore and choosing the file. Here is what is in the Recovery.log file.
Code:
Checking MD5 sums...
md5sum: nandroid.md5: No such file or directory
MD5 mismatch!
Then it just quits. Can you fix it please?

I can get adb to work just about everytime
I can even get recovery to update but still it wont stick no matter what I try. So needless to say anytime I want to try anything I must do the entire procedure over again
There has to be a better way or is this all caused but the nand protection many talk about. Sorry im kindof of newbie to this sort of problem.
All other phones I have rooted for friends usually take once you get it to work. Mytouch 3g fender, a bunch of Moto droids and one N1 so far, and of course my DI
I hope someone figures this out soon then we may start seeing some ROMS, I cant wait for a vanilla rom that I can dress up the way I want and not have all the bloat from SenceUI. Ony thing i'd like to keep would have been htc's weather widget and maybe freindstrean. If I can use it with Sweeter home preview 2. Im so happy with this last release of SH2 its rock solid on my incredible like its been on the moto droid the last 2 or 3 releases for me.

Thats basically the hurdle everyone is trying to jump right now. getting a valid nand backup that works, once that is done, custom recovery and roms will be flowing. Im also working on some messing around to try to help out, but on the same hand being careful not to brick since theres no way to restore at this time.

Has anyone heard how progress of making sp recovery stick going? Thanks.

{Development}Evo-Derived one click root method.

Current Status 7/14
Without the NAND being unlocked, we are unable to re-write to the recovery partition. Other than that everything is working good. Unlocked NAND=One Click Root!
This method is directly based on the new root process for the Eris released on xda.
Original thread can be found here
The following information is taken directly from the thread mentioned above with some small modifications by me for the Incredible.
Big thanks to tereg for the toolkit and the guys who rooted the EVO with a file write/chmod race condition exploit that gave me the idea for this.
jcase noticed that a race isn't actually nessisary to exploit the chmod 777 on the file I've been working with, simplifying the script alot.
I used the files from the adb development pack that Tereg put together. Download them here. You don't need them for this root process as long as you have a working adb install.
You will need adb access. Install the android sdk for your platform (macos, windows, linux) get it for your OS here.
If you don't know how to install the sdk, search xda, there are a ton of howtos for that.
Files to download:
hack-v5-DINC.zip
A ROM file
Android SKD (skip if you have a working adb)
Instructions for linux/OSX.
Have adb in your path, or move the files contained in hack-v5-DINC.zip into your sdk/tools directory so your pushes will work properly.
FOR ALL OS's Make sure your phone has Applications->Development->USB Debugging turned on.
Do NOT have your phone in Disk Drive Mode, have it in Charge Only.
Open a terminal window in your /tools/ directory. Type this at the prompt.
Code:
sh runinlinux.sh
This will take a few minutes, follow the instructions on your screen.
If you get adb: command not found, edit runinlinux.sh and change every
Code:
#/bin/bash
adb push flash_image /data/local/
adb push recovery.img /data/local/
adb push testfile /data/local/
etc...
to
Code:
./adb push flash_image /data/local/
./adb push recovery.img /data/local/
./adb push testfile /data/local/
etc...
Instructions for windows (thanks tereg!)
Download the hack.zip file and extract it to the desktop. So, you have a folder on the desktop called hack. I would recommend moving or copying those files (EDIT: that are contained in the hack folder) to the C:\android-sdk-windows\tools folder. Why? Because the script runs "adb ____" commands, and unless you've set up adb to be able to run anywhere within the command prompt, the script won't run. So, it will universally work if the files in the hack folder are placed in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
So, open a command prompt by pressing WindowsKey+R, or going to Start-Run (in WinXP) and typing
Code:
cmd
in the text box there and press OK
If you are in Windows Vista/Windows 7, go to the Start Menu, then type in
Code:
cmd
in the search bar in the lower right-hand corner of the start menu and press enter, and locate Command Prompt in the search results, or go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt
Type
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
and press enter
Now, I recommend pushing the ROM you want to flash to the SD card now.
Code:
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard
Then, type
Code:
runindos.bat
to execute the script.
You might have to run it 2 or 3 times for it to work. If it fails, just reboot the phone normally, then run
Code:
runindos.bat
again once the phone is booted back up and you're ready.
----------(Thanks again tereg!)
It will scan for a long time, give it at least 5 minutes. If it doesn't come back after 5 minutes cntrl +c to stop it, start the process again. MOST PEOPLE HAVE TO RUN THIS AT LEAST TWICE!
If your device reboots into a new screen with options on it, you now have root in recovery mode. At this point you will be flashing your Incredible's brains, so YOUR PHONE WILL BE BLANK AFTER LOADING A NEW ROM! All of your apps/numbers will be gone from the phone.
I suggest a nand backup first.
Download and copy one of these ROM's to your sdcard as update.zip and flash it with flash zip from sdcard by selecting "Install zip from sdcard".
The first boot after loading a new ROM takes quite a while to show any activity to the screen. Give it a good 5 minutes before you start wondering if it's ever going to come back.

"This thread is intended to be an think-tank, similar to the one on the eris forums where I got the idea from. Let the ideas flow!"
no. this is not working yet. thats why the title even has {development} in it. the process is almost working, and this is a develpoment thread to work out the issue-which is also in big letters at the top...see where it says
"Without the NAND being unlocked, we are unable to re-write to the recovery partition. Other than that everything is working good. Unlocked NAND=One Click Root!"

So once we solve a much more difficult problem, the less difficult will be easier.
Makes sense.

We already know how to unlock the nand vs the exploit posted last night...also unrevoked will have it done In a few days anyway

the difficult problem has already been solved. the unrEVOked team already has the NAND unlocked. now its whether they want to share and make it a true one-click root method, or if they are going to keep it a secret and keep koush's clockworkmod recovery as the only possibility. this tool still uses the clockworkmod recovery, but after a NAND unlock your given the option to change. since koush is working for them too, im starting to think more and more that they are going to keep the monopoly.
im hoping that they will just incorporate their NAND unlock method into this root process. they can even re-lock it after the process is done as they do in their re-flash tool to preserve the monopoly, but a true one-click root is now possible with their co-operation. ive messaged them asking if they want to help out. we will see soon enough, so cross your fingers!

@adrynalyne best to just ignore these people...its not like the winmo days is it man? Le sighe

Good advice, you are right. I will ignore this stuff in the future.
No, not like the winmo days at all. I've never seen so much anomisity and jealousy in a community before like there is for Android.

All I can say is we already intended to release this method, we were making a pretty robust obfuscation for it. But again the community has jumped before thinking and posted the bug for HTC to fix. There might not be any root's left after this one is burnt. Which it now is. Our tool will be released as is soon enough.
We don't care to create a monopoly, we happily work with others that ASK. Those that just jump and tell the world all the secrets we don't want plugged are just stupid, plain and simple.

it seems like my comment was taken the wrong way.
for one, clockworkmod recovery is the only one that works on the DINC AFAIK, amon_ras isnt working on here either.
the monopoly is basically a monopoly because of the lack of other available options, not necessarily because its enforced.
i apologize if it came off the wrong way or insulted anyone with the preceding comments.
i meant this thread as a co-operative think-tank, it wasnt my intention to start a big ordeal.

hmm. well i guess thats what happens when people try to help out the community...maybe next time i just wont do anything... :/
and FYI...i did contact you. i sent you a PM earlier today.
this method has been used on the EVO and hasnt been plugged, and its been in the works on the Eris-also an HTC phone- for quite a long time, and in the same way this is...a co-operative community effort to make the phone the best that it can be.And its still not been plugged.
id worry less about HTC plugging the exploits and more about getting the exploits available to the public.

Correct, you are not the original one leaking the method. But my point is devs capable of finding things like this should be capable of thinking about it being plugged. HTC fixed our recovery hold in the next OTA. Now it's quite possible nand and this root will be patched also. we have NO OTHER WAYS IN... Thats it. besides some VERY complicated exploits we are OUT after the next ota.
I got your pm's, but only after you posted this.
It's a moot point, our one click root is due out in a few minutes. we were going to further lengths to protect the method, but it's out anyway at this point.

well i apologize for the fact that i may/may not have ruined your chances to make a big announcement for your release, but IMO its kinda bs that you keep the info on lockdown. the whole point of android is that its open. a select amount of people shouldnt consider themselves the gatekeepers of important information.

From our wiki, which you appearently haven't read:
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/unrevoked2
That doesn't seem fair! Android is about open source.
In some senses, we agree; but at times, a tradeoff needs to be made. Releasing the source code for this, we believe, would compromise the greater ability to unlock devices like these in the future. Given the choice between sacrificing the liberty of running code on our handsets and the liberty of reading the code by which we unlock it, we feel that the millions of handsets are more important. It is unfortunate that we must make such a choice, and we look forward to the day in the future that no such decision need be made.

[TOOL] redbend modification

I hacked on redbend_ua to make it a better phone hacking tool
first thing that has to go was the rebooting after any command
and the second thing was the stupid installing software splash screens
the first mod will probably segfault if used to batch install delta files
as I suspect there is some more code to update the progress bar on
the now NOP'ed installing software splash screen.
the second mod has batch mode NOP'ed so it wont do anything unless
you pass the dump,restore or compare commands which is fine for scripting
zImage and modem.bin installs.

normally when you run a command it will take over the screen with a "Installing Software"
splash, and then reboot. you can get around the reboot by unlinking reboot but that is kinda
a kludge and the splash usually just scrambles the screen.
the mod does away with the splash and the reboot making redbend_ua less annoying to use.
you could even probably install kernels and modems without rebooting into recovery, though
you will have to reboot to use the new code.
for example if you want to install a kernel the command might look something like this
Code:
/data/local/redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml7

So I'm bumping this because tbh I was a little surprised to see it die out. I was expecting more to come out of it. I imagine you could potentially create an app to flash kernels and modems and then you just reboot for it to take effect. Might be worth looking into...
Edit: I'm going to look into it. I feel this would be extremely convenient for multiple reasons.

I saw that and briefly hacked into it to pack it with vibrant kernels - gave it 1 try which failed and I moved on because I assume you have a check in place that didnt let me replace the kernel. Like to see this for us though.
Edit - reading your signature, I must have been working from an early or I9000 version at the time.

[ROM] Adeo v0.2 (REDUX) for Atrix 4G

***MOD EDIT***
THIS ROM ONLY WORKS ON 4.1.26. Please consider another ROM unless you know what you are doing.
History & IntroThe first version was done with 3 different batch files, it ended up being very hacky and even ended up bricking one phone because the cleanup script didn't properly work.
I have rebuilt it from the ground up as a shell script. The initial temp root and file push is done with a batch file, it then fires off the install script on the phone which reports back to the batch with helpful info about what it is doing and what to expect from the phone as it goes. You no longer have to accept any superuser requests either.
The new script has been used on tons of phones now, everything executed exactly as I expected it to. I really didn't want to post this until we had a stock firmware to restore to, after the first release I have been worried about you guys bricking your devices, but what the hell, here it is anyways.

Nice! First basic rom How would someone restore back to stop if you cant do a factory reset? I know on the captivate I had a nice Odin flash to do that.
Thanks

A custom ROM?
I'm going to have to buy an Atrix!
EDIT: Bought it!
EDIT2: And Adeo'd it. All UI lag is gone! This is awesome!

I am running this in my Atrix now - I believe my phone was the 4th phone to have this install perfectly on with no issues. Designgears, you are the man, once again! Thank you for this!

PM sent DG. I cheated an caught link a few minutes early and wanted say thanks! This is running great with no issues and I'm loving the reboot option...

Installed on mine, worked flawlessly. Thanks!

There is no easy way to get back to stock, I will make a thing just like this installer to do that, actually its done, testing it

So if all else fails, the factory reset will bring it back to out of the box shape? Just concerned because Im still debating if I want to keep the phone before my 30 days is up etc. Id like to return it as stock obviously, but I also need to test out custom mods before my decision.
Thanks man.

I am curious, what changes were made for the reboot mod?

so if all else fails, the factory reset will bring it back to out of the box shape? Just concerned because im still debating if i want to keep the phone before my 30 days is up etc. Id like to return it as stock obviously, but i also need to test out custom mods before my decision.
Thanks man.

I saw the no factory reset posts lol... I was just curious what can be done to return the phone back to stock once this is all done with.
Thanks.

I designed this script to handle payloads, just need to package up one with a new payload with stock files and upload it.

Installed... Removed Laggyness i was getting with blur UI.
as to refering to the blur UI....
this is my second Atrix.. had to bring my first one back because when i was on tier 3 support the other night they fried the sim card reader with an update which was killing data signal to my phone... that phone had no laggyness whats so ever at all. I got this one today out of the box was having laggyness and slow response to key presses.. this fixed that as of so far.

Nice, I will give this shot. Although I am already running DeOdexed already but I figured may be you got it running better than mine
I am also going to start editing small things like animations. No sense oh having all this power without some eye candy

Hello designgears,
Did you re-signed the apks? If so, could you share the key files you used? The reason I ask for it, it's because I am playing around with the /system/app apks and was getting errors like:
"Package com.motorola.blur.home has no signatures that match those in shared user"
Awesome job, btw!

Stupid question. How do I hook up the phone with adb enabled? When I run the bat file it says error: device offline, but in my devices I see ADB interface Mot Composite ADB interface.

Try a usb port on the back of your PC

Download ADB Wireless from the Market. It'll help solve that one for you.

Install the Android SDK
install the MOTO drivers it will also install the moto adb drivers with it.
Install the ADB function drivers into the SDK/tools folder
run...cd to the sdk/tools folder... run... adb devices
should show the device is up which means ADB is enabled

Rooting CDMA Hero with 1 click

Howdy, not a noob to android, have an Evo, experienced user, but rooted my friend's hero with the 1 click method here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743289 And it says he's rooted, but when he tries to go into recovery it didn't load, and he gets the triangle with ! indicating no recovery. Is there any way to push a recovery without being on a pc?

Terminal Emulator i beleive

Would you know the commands? I'm not with him at the moment...long story.

i beleive just instead of adb you sup su instead, but dont hold me to do it.
cause TE is just basically like adb when your phone is booted and running, so id assume itd be similar commands

Alrighty, I'll try that with him.
Any other input is much welcomed.

Sorry if im not much help but also obviously you push it from your sd card instead of pc

Two easy ways to do it:
1) Grab a recovery, place it on the root of the sd card, and do the following in Terminal Emulator:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/whateverthefilenameis.img
or
2) Grab ROM Manager off the Market, and flash Clockwork from there.

Well I needed to check all my options,a nd it did help.

oh the differences between a junior member and a senior haha thanks stayclean, ill remember this too

He tried installing rom manager from the market but its not showing up, but still trying.

thats weird, get the apk and copy it to your sd card and install it with a file manager

Well I know what I am doing, but as never used a hero, i just wanted to ask hero users what they would do/recommend.

Also tried that, but will try those links, cuz every one I gave him it failed to install.

umm it sounds like its falling apart haha, did you root correctly and everything? well youre pretty savvy so id suppose so. but thats a lot of mess ups for one thing

Well he does have root, but for some reason the recovery image wasn't flashed. So now getting that part up and running.

which should be easy, cause you have so many options, just having a stroke of bad luck.
did my link help?
