Thinking about going Root and flashing
 

I'm tired of waiting on 2.2 to come out. So i decided i'm gonna root my phone and put it on there myself.

Have the easy root tool from this site, But i was wondering, where is Nandroid so i can make a backup of my ROM..

I also have the 2.2 official that was leaked. wondering if there was a better ROM out there or not.

Re: Thinking about going Root and flashing
 

Are you asking where to go to make the NAND backup? Once you root, in recovery there is an option to backup/restore. You do it from there.

I've been running the second leaked 2.2 since the day after it leaked out. I haven't had any major problems.

Re: Thinking about going Root and flashing
 

okay, rand into a snag, I rooted my phone, But i guess to flash to the 2.2 ROM i need an updated radio (according to a guide i found here http://www.jonamerica.com/technology...yo-2-2-update/ ) So it told me to unroot, and here is where i am stuck. downloaded the file they told me to. And put it in my SD card, and now where it says reboot to the bootloader it wont load the file. downloaded 3 times.

using the unrEVOked utility (clockworkmod i think) and trying that way it says
"E:Can't open /sdcard/p31img.zip
(bad)"

Re: Thinking about going Root and flashing
 

When you say you have the easy root tool from this site, did you do unrevoked forever? (Looks like it was updated on this site today) I don't know that it makes a difference, just reaching for something it might be.

Re: Thinking about going Root and flashing
 

No i have the unrevoked 3.1

Re: Thinking about going Root and flashing
 

I'm trying to find the guide and file I used when I did it, but I'm not having any luck.

Only thing I did stumble across is apparently some people ran into the same problem because the SD card wasn't formatted to FAT32.

Re: Thinking about going Root and flashing
 

Mine was FAT reformatting to FAT32 as we speak. I'll put just that on my SD card and see how that works as well.

Sure enough that worked, it's installing as we speak. Thanks for the help! :D

Re: Thinking about going Root and flashing
 

Awesome. Glad it worked because I had no other ideas what might be causing the problem.

Re: Thinking about going Root and flashing
 

Having another issue now.. when i try to update the radio i get a phone with a red triangle and exclamation mark in it, i think it's because i have about half battery. (even though it's extended)

Re: Thinking about going Root and flashing
 

At what point are you getting this? Give us some details as to how you got where you are :)

Re: Thinking about going Root and flashing
 

I go into the bootloader and select recovery. then the incredible screen pops up. and then a black screen, then the screen with the symbol and the phone

Re: Thinking about going Root and flashing
 

When you select recovery does it actually give you recovery options to select?

Re: Thinking about going Root and flashing
 

No just the screen

also to reboot from that screen i have to take out the battery

Re: Thinking about going Root and flashing
 

Is it kinda big and in the middle of the screen?

I'm going off memory here, but there's another button combination you need to hit when it comes up.. It's either volume down + power, or volume up + power.

Re: Thinking about going Root and flashing
 

Got it! thanks man :D

Re: Thinking about going Root and flashing
 

What did you do? In case someone else has the same issue, it might help them :)

Re: Thinking about going Root and flashing
 

if you run unrevoked forever you should be able to just flash the latest radio without rerooting. the latest radio is 2.15... check over at android forums in the incredible/roms section for the link.

this just came out so most of the guides don't mention it.

Re: Thinking about going Root and flashing
 

Was waiting on a review of the radio, if it's better or worse.

@carladarla:
i pushed the power and volume down keys AT THE SAME TIME when at the screen with the phone and the warning symbol and it brought me to the recovery menu, went to "run update.zip" and away i went

Re: Thinking about going Root and flashing
 

Excellent. Glad you got it figured out and thanks for the info.

Re: Thinking about going Root and flashing
 

This is a pretty lousy review, but I haven't noticed anything different with 2.15. I've never had any problems with any of the radios though, so I'm probably a bad judge. I just like having the newest stuff. :D
