[RECOVERY] psfServiceMod for Incredible [Updated 12/20 3:14pm]

Today Klutsh released psfServiceMod, which allows you to use an android device to downgrade a ps3. It currently supports most popular android phones.... now including the Droid Inc!
The latest release, 3.2, has everything fixed! I've had it for about a day now and all is good, backups and restores are no longer broken and psfreedom works, grab it here: http://www.klutsh.com/download/86/[...card: [url]http://www.klutsh.com/download/25/
Things to keep in mind:
There is a possibility that you will lose the ability to play Blu ray movies if you downgrade, i personally didn't, and i did it twice. I have a launch model 60GB for homebrew.
If your on 3.41 and want an alternate method of jailbreaking, you might consider Adrynaline's psfreedom kernel.
If you want to use the kernel make sure you have the right one, there is a sense and cm6 version. When your phone turns on, you need to open terminal emulator and enter:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/psfreedom.ko
This method supports peek and poke and can be run with the phone on, however, it will disable usb mass storage, and wifi. To fix this, just flash back to another kernel like incrediblek's or ziggys. This code will need to be entered again if your phone reboots.

me too, would love to see this!

Yes a inc port will be awesome.

not happening.
I tried with klutsh (who is a great guy btw) for over 40 recoveries and many custom kernels, he just cannot get it to work on the incredible. Done deal.
Get yourself a dedicated device. I got a used 1st gen ipod nano from craigslist for 10 dollars and it works flawlessly, all payloads and downgrades.

He tried 1 test build of the old psfmod. He rewrote the entire thing for this version. I really dont see the problem considering it has almost the exact hardware as the evo and both run clockwork. Am i missing something?
but, a 3.50 Jailbreak would be nice lol.
Im trying to get a service mod going, but i cant compile psfreedom.ko and if i do i get exec_format_error trying to run it. Im running a modded psfreedom kernel btw. Anyone think they can properly compile it? Or is it unlikely to work?

Is this different than Adrynalyne's psfreedom kernel? I'm just curious really, I never plan on owning a ps3.

Ok, first off, stop with your unnecessary attitude. Its because of negative people like you that things do not happen. Im not begging for anything. Quite the opposite. Im trying to get psfreedom running. If your not going to add anything positive to the thread, then dont bother.

Adrynaline lost his source for the original PSFreedom kernel. What he has up there is incomplete and cannot be duplicated as the original kernel. Do you see a pattern here? Im not trying to be mean, but seriously, there are better ways to spend your time.

I'll be looking into this tomorrow

Klutsh is a fricken machine, thats all i can say
got a working recovery image for the inc, ill leave releasing it to Klutsh though.
i would expect it to be here: http://www.klutsh.com/downloads/ when he releases it

but that can't be....it CAN'T be done! quepaso said it himself that it can't be done, and obviously he knows everything about the future!
Just like the ps3 can't be hacked either! oh wait.....

[Q] Do you find yourself changing ROMs every couple of days?

I must admit I do it often. With so many ROMs out there is like being a kid in a candy store. my 8gb sd card is maxing out with nandroid backups! arghh!!!

You have ORD then

Deffo ORD. A hopeless case sadly, beyond saving.
You could try going into recovery to see if that helps*
*That was a test. If you reached for your phone and booted into CWM then there is NO helping you. If you took 'Recovery' to mean a support group then there may be some hope yet!

It's called ORD.
Welcome to, the dark side.
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

nah this is absolutely normal ... the reason i change roms every week is the fact every single one has one or two bugs in it that make my normal lifestyle and well being completely impossible ...

Can anyone mention, which rom has the best battery life and speed ??

Just as a word of advice...avoid asking that. You'll most likely either get chewed out or get the same answer every time....you'll know what that answer is right away. Not trying to get on your case, just a fair warning.
-If ignorance is bliss why aren't you smiling?-

Yeah I find myself doing that. I've already done it four times today. What I don't like is all the times I have to reinstall all my apps. :/
It annoys me too the way I lose unread texts while I'm flashing a new ROM.
I also have some weird strange thing, where when I change ROM's it'll resend all the texts I've sent that day. I quite like annoying people when I do that tbh.

If you get the paid version of titanium backup up you can run batch operations.
And I flash so many times a day I lose count, all ways feel like I need to be running the latest and greatest.

No cant say i do but certainly for the first 6 months or so when i joined this forum i used to be a bit of a ROM flashing addict, been using Sergio Coredroid now since January and that's the longest ive gone without flashing anything else.

i am a flashoholic...everyday i log in just to check if a new rom is out...the longest i've gone without a flash is 4 days...today is the 4th day

Only if I see improvement, I don't care about homes and colors, ill do that on my own

I went 2 weeks without flashing my DZ. It was on 1.72 so I had no root and no ROMs.
Now - (If there are any bloody ROM updates) I flash as they upload.

Yes. If I won't try all of them roms, how should I know I use the best one?!

Yes def get the paid version of titanium. I used to switch like Once a week but I am loving trigger right now. Don't think im going to be switching anytime soon. Still switch kernels left and right tho lol
Trigger + Tigerblood = Winning

[Question] Flashing Too many Times?

What Happens if we flash various roms too many times ? is there is any problem to device and storage ?

You can flash hundreds of times and not have any issue.

No issues, I am a rom tester and have literally flashed this device well over 100 times.

Reading the thread and reviews it seems the app is pretty old and more focused to the galaxy nexus and some HTC's. The galaxy nexus is a old devise. I also read a lot of current reviews on the app claming the app bricked their devices. I would be cautious of this app after reading v the reviews. I have flashed so many times and still have zero lag. So I am glad I don't really need to consider this app. I am sure on the gnex it worked well when the app was developed. No bad mouthing the original Dev. Just not sure it is still needed for our device.

Full system partition after 6.0.1 update.

Alright, so let me start by saying I read around and I know it's normal, Google just decided to pack the system partition full this time around, but when using the diskinfo app, it shows that there are 0B of unused data! Is that right? Not a single byte? Haha that's weird that Google would choose this! And I know you can delete some Google bloatware to get some space back. Anyways, question here is, is everyone else at 0B after this 6.0.1 update?

Mines full up as well, or at least it was til I made room for cataclysm. Google makes stock with the idea that you'll never touch the /system ever so having it 100% full just means Google is using every bit of space available to them trying to keep from using internal storage space for their google apps.

As others have said and done, delete some unused Google apps from /system/apps or some foreign language keyboards from /system.

Empty space is not full but "reserved"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64208563&postcount=3393

I did a comparison between the system partition of the MMB29K factory image and my AOSP MMB29K based rom with Benzo Gapps which is quite full and the difference is 1,3 GB. The difference is actually about 100M less, because a couple of Google apps is called Prebuilt-something, and it differs from the Gapps installed. So if anybody needs space on system, there's a lot of things to delete from.

This was done to prevent things like xposed. With the more strict root setup and this Google is making it harder and harder for things like xposed which google wants to put an end to.

I sincerely doubt it. I don't think Google cares about any software particularly. It's more to stop those messing with their system partition that are not entirely sure what they are doing.

I really wouldn't doubt it! I was thinking maybe to put an end to root or something like that! Now you have to delete some of the Google bloatware to install traditional root or xposed! I just wonder how they're going to update the Nexus 6 to the next version of Android with no space to work with, unless it is just reserved space and done on purpose.

Just now read that post, well that's just strange! Like I said, I wonder how Google will update this phone further with the next version of Android!

The nexus 5 did the same thing when it was updated to lollipop, it had a 1gb system partition, now the nexus 6 is doing it with a 2gb system partition, the nexus 6p has a 3gb partition, and it wouldn't surprise me android Nougat or Nutella or whatever will probably fill it up too for whatever reason.

The 6P has a 3GB partition? Wow! That's kinda neat actually lol and I just checked the disk space on my sisters Nexus 5 and yea! It's nearly full with a few MB open! And that phone has a locked bootloader and never had any mods installed, it's clean lol That's interesting and I wonder what they're real reasoning is. It could very well be that they don't like system mods on their phones, but like everything else, XDA devs find a way around that almost instantly! Hence the reason people are deleting Google bloatware apps and installing them through the play store! Easy work around

The main reason is simple. Google doesnt think people need to mess with the system partition so wasted space is pointless.
No they dont like us messing with it and to be honest it has been a bain to their devices and os. Sooner or later they will find a way to lock it completely down.

I sure hope not! That would be awful! :/ people buy a Nexus for the development community and the mods that are out there! But XDA devs work fast, there will be a way to change that rather quickly if this happens! [emoji14] But like I said, that would be awful! Chainfire's systemless root is a huge step in the right direction though! Having root in the boot.img so you can remove bloatware!

Have you been readin just what he has been saying about it? Even for the nexus Root is not seen as a good thing. Dont get me wrong doesnt matter to me anyway as I dont use google based roms myself so it is just a matter of compiling the new build.
But it is happening. If you step back like a few of us have you can see it coming. Even more and more apps from the play store are looking for things like root and xposed and refusing to work if they are detected.

This is a very common misconception. Only the android kernel is open source. The rest is not. Only AOSP (different then google android) is open source. The flexibility that Google was talking about was being able to change launchers, SMS apps and things like that. They dont really want you messing with the OS.

"Media Storage" hogs almost 4 gbytes (!!!) of storage

I know it stores media scan db. Unlike previous Android versions, the OS does not let one wipe it's data or even force stop it. Using "pm clear com.android.providers.media" from ADB is, apparently, still allowed but doesn't seem to fix anything. It seem to recreate the db, judging by all the ringtones/notification tones getting reset everywhere, but it's data size remains about 3.8gb, which is insane. Media scanner apps show 401 total media files found, 355 images, 22 video and 24 audio files, those amounts should be far cry from being a big deal. What in the world is going on?! I don't have root, so i can't peek in /data/data/com.android.providers.media. I absolutely do not want to hard reset either.
Any ideas?

False alert. System UI seems to report the entire shared storage at "data" of that app, which has mislead me. Not sure if i should delete this thread now, or keep it in case someone else happens to notice this and wonders.

I had telegram do that to me before, kind of. Like, how did all these pictures get here and stuff...
Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

It was a false alarm from my side, it didn't actually blow that db out of proportions, it just mistakenly shows everything on the "internal storage" as belonging to that app data. Guess it just counts everything created by whatever Linux user MTP runs on, and everything there belongs to that user.

BTW, since when did they disable wiping the data on it? Is it new on Android 11, or did i skip too many Android versions, lol. Still possible over adb, with pm, though. Gladly, doesn't follow the same logic the counting does!

Indeed it is crazy strange. I've had this db getting huge before on older devices, but my first though was "how the hell, the phone is a week old", second thought "screw it, wipe and let it rescan", and then i see it still huge, lol.

It is not a false alert. You're partially right. The data isn't actually used by mediastorage because it just links to media files on the system. The problem is that Android is stupid enough to not have an exclusion for mediastorage's usage report.
In other words, Android is dumb enough to think that mediastorage is actually using all that space which will lead to a lack of storage space on your phone.
