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.

HELP! cant do nandroid recovery via ADB 'unaffys not found in path ?'

Would really appreciate some help here guys...
basically i have a new SLCD nexus one with Ramons 1.8.01 recover image.
I tried uploading a few roms but none of them worked..
so I'm trying to restore one of two nandroid backups i made before i started messing..
on the phone if i go into recovery and select nandroid restore then i get an error telling me to run nandroid-mobile.sh via ADB.
So, i set up adb, follow a guide (here) and end up with an error saying
error: unyaffs not found in path
does anyone know how i can get that backup working???
I've attached a copy of my cmd window..
Any help would be gratefully appreciated

Quick update, I have Cyanogen 6.0.0 working on the phone now..
But i'd still like to be able to restore!

I would suggest trying to type the directory instead of using default. When the restore prompts you to either type the directory or hit enter... instead of hitting enter type:
/sdcard/nandroid/HT08BP800418/BCDS-20100911-2252
See if it gives you the same error.
NOTE: That IS case sensitive.

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately it does give the same error, I have 3 nandroid backups but cant restore any of them which is worrying incase anything happens to the phone!
Please help

Try this... while in the shell... type the following:
Code:
ls -l /sdcard/nandroid/HT08BP800418/BCDS-20100911-2252
It should bring up a list of 5 files. Go ahead and attach a screen if you can if you are getting a list of files. If not let me know what error you get.

Thanks for your help,
here's the screen shot

Nobody encountered this problem?

Ok... sorry had you look in the wrong place. I thought it was looking in the directory with the image in it for what it needed. I just looked at the nandroid code. Turns out... it looks for some executables that are required for the script to run. It doesn't have to do with your image and I think your images are probably fine.
I need you to run 2 more commands so I can see where the problem is. First run:
Code:
env
Next run:
Code:
which unyaffs
The "env" command should show your enviroment variables. What we are looking for is for /system/bin to be in your "PATH" variable. It should be because it checks for another executable first "flash_image" and it is not coming up with an error. The second file it is checking for is "unyaffs". Next you need to check and make sure unyaffs is actually in your /system/bin folder. It is probably not... and would explain the error you are getting.
I guess my first question is... is this happening on all ROMs you have tried (or have you only gotten one up and running)? If it is there may have been a problem when you flashed it. Even though it is possible that you could copy it to the /system/bin I would suggest not doing this. The reason is because if that one file is missing... there may be other files missing that should be there from when you flashed your ROM. These missing files... if there are any... could cause problems later. It might be best just to reflash whatever ROM you are using. I would suggest CM6 (not nighties) and then moving to some other ROM once you get a "known good" to work with.

Hey GoblinLord,
Thanks for your help on this, really appreciate it..
OK, well i've ran the two commands that you said and have attached the screenshot with the output. I've tried going to /system/bin but get permission denied errors through adb.
Although it looks like the PATH is actually /sbin rather than /system/bin ???
As for the roms..
I'm currently using CM6 (the stable version) as this was the only one that I could manage to get to work. As this is a SLCD nexus i dont think there are many roms that have the right drivers for the screen. Its does work fine though.. The nandroid restore is the only part of the phone that i cannot get working....
Again thanks for the help...

Hmmm... the permission denied is normal. That is because it is a folder and not an executable. You should be able to do:
Code:
ls -l /system/bin
This will list what is in your /system/bin directory. As for your path being different... that seems a bit strange. I am doing the commands from a terminal on my device... once I get back home today I will do it through the ADB shell and see what I get. The "which" command will only look in the folders in your "PATH" variable for the executable. If /system/bin is not in there I am not sure how it is passing the part where it looks for "flash_image". In my sbin folder I only have the ADB daemon (adbd) executable. What you could do is manually add the /system/bin to your PATH variable while in the shell... that may work. You can try the following:
Code:
PATH=$PATH:/system/bin
Run that before running your restore command. That should manually place the directory you need into your PATH environment variable. I will do a little testing with ADB once I get home and update this if I get to before you try it.

Thanks for the reply....
I won't be able to try this until Wednesday as I have left the USB cable at work ....
I will try it Wednesday and let you know...

I checked my environment variables via ADB. Mine did show the /system/bin in my PATH variable. Seeing as this is a shell being run on your device... I would still venture to say that something may have went wrong when you flashed your ROM originally. That or something you installed changed it for some crazy reason (and shouldn't have). Either way, I still think it would be best to flash again... possibly to a different version. I know you would have had to get a modified version of CM6 so... if you don't mind me asking where did you get your copy?
EDIT: Correction... I am getting the same path variable as you when in recovery mode. I am not quite sure why this is... the guide I found for using nandroid restore through ADB doesn't seem to run into this issue. It might be some kind of issue related to just Amon_Ra recovery. This would mean that Amon_Ra Recovery just didn't add it to the PATH variable... which I guess is rather odd... but whatever. Just try manually adding it to the PATH variable as mentioned above and then run the restore. It should work then.
EDIT 2: I did a bit of researching on that error you are getting when you try and restore in recovery. Reference:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=621940
Various people point to things that may cause this error. Is your phone charged? Do you have plenty of space on your SD card?

Disable signature check from terminal

I'm developing a app which flashes a zip through cwm, its working fine apart from i need to know how to send a command to cwm so that when it reboots it also disables signature verification. Heres how i'm already sending the infomation to cwm to know what to flash on reboot
Code:
os.writeBytes("echo '--update_package=/data/data/carbon.assassin.tweaks/beats.zip' >> /cache/recovery/command\n");

why dont you sign your zip with a test key???Signapk will do the job.

That seems to work but it doesn't print any of the UI while flashing which is a bit annoying, any idea's on how to make it? (The signing bit isn't affecting this but the flashing it from terminal seems to)

AFAIK this is the easiest method.I dont think you might turn of signature verification through terminal.But I may be wrong.As for the printing statement goes,could you attach your updater-script???I might have a look.

well for one this is for jfltexx, and secondly if the boot loader is locked i doubt that could flash it as u need a new the boot.img.

Well see with ATT we can boot custom roms(MDL users) as long as the kernel is already lokidokied, or you can flash the loki zip and it will bypass the ATT check and allow you to boot a custom rom, Now seeing how this is based of CM10.2(thats what the file is saying so i am just taking a guess) if I flashed the Loki zip after flashing the rom would it work? But I am doing a backup as of now and I am going to test and see if it works :3 I will report back lol

How to root me572c Lollipop

First of all, many thanks for 4pda members.
It's time to post new thread for Lollipop.
This is for Kitkat me572c users.
(I can't make link so just copy the url)
● Lollipop firmware (UL-K007-WW-12.14.1.12) with root
Code:
mega.nz/#!LwJ3VBxK!4V4Ay-RzLS8x609zvyWL8IlcgI3xxfLcSqZ3gZkc52Q
● Install-Recovery.rar
Code:
mega.nz/#!C5ghzL6R!GR0WgLCumy6a429kB0ZjQOMxjPSylz07fVnHtKVm8ng
● ADB Driver
Code:

1) Can only be set on 4.4.2 (Kitkat). If you have already installed Lolipop, you must first revert to Kitkat. The computer should be installed ADB driver for the tablet and the tablet is turned on for the USB debugging. (no need to backup Internal memory. every data remain. but just in case, back up your data.)
2) Connect powered tablet to the computer. Download the firmware and rename it MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip, copy to the root of the memory card(MicroSd card) of the tablet. Download the archive Install-Recovery.rar and unpack it on your computer.
3) Run Install-Recovery.cmd, after the black command window turns up, volume buttons to select SD Download and power button for confirm. This will start the process of firmware.

Can anyone post instructions (in English hopefully because I'm lingual challenged) on how to revert back to KitKat if you've already upgraded to Lollipop? I didn't think that was possible...
Thanks so much!

I did a rough translation of the steps for downgrading in this thread. I haven't tried it myself, though, so I can't guarantee success.

It worked yes! Thanks! The only problem I have is my navbar icons is still kitkat, so is my wifi icon/battery. I'm just going to get the xposed module I guess and figure out later while it hasn't changed. But woo!
edit: (DOH!) that's what exposed moduel Xstana is for, nevermind the issue about navbar icons and the other icon problems.
You should include this in OP.

I wouldn't try it. The process involves loading ROM images made specifically for the ME572C..

A few questions about this.:
* Is there a way to do this in Linux? I don't own a Windows computer, but I have the full Android SDK installed, including ADB and fastboot.
* Is the Recovery.rar necessary if I am still on Kitkat? I assume this changes out the stock recovery with something else. Is that correct?
* Does this actually unlock the bootloader?
* My tablet is currently running 4.4.2. KVT49L.WW_epad-11.8.3.31-20150126 release-keys
044000309_201407240016. Any problems upgrading from this version?
Thanks
EDIT: Here is a very slightly modified script from the original for Linux. You must have adb and fastboot already installed for this work. These are included in the Android SDK for Linux. Copy and past this into a new file called Install-Recovery.sh and make it executable. You will still need the recovery.img file from the original Install-Recovery.rar archive. I don't think you will need anything else.
THIS IS UNTESTED!
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Waiting for device connection..."
adb wait-for-device
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I'm using linux tools comes with Intel Phone Flash Lite tool instead of google tools.
https://01.org/android-ia/downloads/intel-phone-flash-tool-lite
adb and fastboot are installed into /usr/lib/phoneflashtoollite/ and changed path for the tools are changed and done manually.
Now I've just succeeded to install LoliPop into my tab after almost 2 days efforts(thank all contributors!!) but I can't reproduce accurate steps in linux(ubuntu) environment.... At least I used windows environment for downgrading from non-rooted 5.01 to 4.4.2...
Good luck !

As I do not need to downgrade, I think my script will work. I just have not had the time to try it. When I do flash this, I will probably just type in the commands manually so I can what is happening easier. I would just really like to know more about this new Recovery before flashing. Is a CWM based recovery or a stock recovery? If stock, what differs in it from the stock recovery currently present on it?
I grabbed the link you sent, but it's a .deb file. I will search for a RPM or just convert this one, as I am using Fedora 21 and CentOS 7 on my two machines.
Thanks

Recovery is not CMW/TWRP, perhaps modified from stock.
Yep, What I did were execute series of command lines manually and crossing my fingers for several times
I'm expecting that will work in RPM based distros.

confirm, successful update using links/directions here.
kk stock rooted -> custom rooted 5.0 as above
yay!
significant speed increase in the ui animations, etc.
...google probably did a lot of support work for the moorefield

Thanks for Xposed info. I installed framework and installer from linux to tablet (by trying install command lines manually) and now they are working perfect. Eating pies with lollipop now, yummmm.

Instructions fail with the recovery not being able to mount the SDCard for some reason.
But the zip sideloaded just fine.

I guess you just have to turn on usb debugging, connect your device to your pc and execute InstallXposedFramework.bat and InstallXposedInstaller.bat

I did and nothing
