Now Thats What Im Talking About!


Unrevoked “A day or two” Away from Rooting DROID Incredible Again - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog

 

[dibs ODDJOB]

Sweet, I was just about to take the root plunge until the OTA borked unrevoked. Glad to see they are on a fix.

 

[rjj130]

Glad I saw this... my phone is acting up and I need to exchange it.

Don't want to lose some data, i.e. Angry Birds progress. Sad I know...

I'll wait through the weekend I guess before storming into VZW's store and getting a new one.

What problems are you having that you think rooting your phone is going to solve? What do you mean by acting up?

if he roots he'll be able to back up his application data (such as angry birds progress) with titanium. Then when he gets his new incredible he can root it and reinstall applications with data.

^ Boom!

I have the dreaded trackball of doom... bastard has a mind of it's own.

 

[tmarr]

YES!

I was just about to root my phone and decided to wait until I got the update and they released a new version to root.

Ahh, I got you. Some people have been posting about this or that and how rooting will magically solve their problems, and it seems like a recipe for disappointment. In your case that's not true, of course.

 

[Shorte85]

I hope they come up with a fix here soon. I really wanna theme my phone up. LOL

 

[Shorte85]

Has anyone possibly heard anything different or got any new news about what's going on with the unrevoked?

 

[Hitch_Itch]

I haven't heard anything, Still waiting, trying to be patient but its hard. Im sure there doing there best to get us a reliable root so no one bricks there dinc.

The minute I hear something I will be sure to make a new topic with links

[Shorte85]

Thanks. Much appreciated.

I couldn't root my HTC Incredible using unrevoked3. Is that due to the recent OTA update?

Not trying to be a d**k but there are a ton of threads regarding unrEVOked no longer working after the recent OTA update. A simple search could have answered this question. A fix should be released soon though so keep your eye on the threads and xda. Cheers

 

[MattyMo]

Thanks OP for bringing this to light. I've been trying to root for the past hour wondering wtf I was doing wrong hahaha. Definitely stoked for this fix.

 

[rjj130]

Yeah, unfortunately I cannot wait any longer... I had to get a new phone.

Using two hands (one to cover the trackpad and one to do normal operation) to do everything on this phone is PITA!

It's supposed to arrive tomorrow AM.

i am getting a new phone in the mail tomorrow because of the same optical joystick problem. i noticed that they are sending me the adr6300 which is the slcd version as far as i can tell. i had the amoled version, so if i don't like the screen i'll bitch and moan about not getting a direct replacement. i've also heard slcd versions have additional root issues. is this true? you think this will be fixed with the updated unrevoked?

i'm also curious as to whether it is possible for people to simply make replica roms of the official releases. it seems now that all roms try to do some customization which often leads to bugs in various places. if there was a direct replica, perhaps you wouldn't have to go through all the hassle to update once rooted (just install replica rom). maybe this just isn't possible.

 

[Grenadyr]

Fwiw, my wife has the amoled version and I have the slcd version. I've looked at them both and the difference is slight to my eyes. My slcd seems crisper overall but that's just my opinion.

There is another thread discussing some problems with incompatible kernels with the new slcd screens. It seems the answer is to manually flash the rom of your choice and then flash a compatible kernel before rebooting. I'm anxiously awaiting the new rooting method myself so I can't try this solution, yet.

Fwiw, I use Virtuous Rom on my wife's Incredible with great success. It's mostly stock with most of the Verizon "crap" removed. There are also stock Rom's out there that are unmodified releases of the OTA's. I'm hoping the Virtuous Rom is unmodified enough to not effect my slcd Incredible.

I have the AMOLED dinc--Unrevoked Forever running Virtuous--and under Phone Identity it shows model number ADR6300. I think read somewhere that the SKU is different by a digit for the SLCD version, dunno about model #.

 

[rjj130]

Not to go OT, but I received my replacement today, but haven't fired it up yet.

Though I am quite ticked that it's a refurb. If there is a hardware defect in a phone, it should warrant a new phone, not a refurb. I didn't lose, break, or have my original stolen. I show care to the electronics that I purchase.

I may try calling VZW and complaining about not receiving a brand new phone.

 

[rjj130]

BTW, my model is ADR6300, was a pre-order and received on release.

Refurb I just received is an ADR6300 as well.

 

[WormDoes]

If you go into settings-about phone-hardware information...
hardware version 0002 is AMOLED
hardware version 0003 is SLCD

Refurb I just received is an ADR6300 as well.

Per a screen shot of a VZW advisory on Android Central (Droid Incredible transitioning from AMOLED to SLCD touchscreens this month | Android Central), the SKU for the SLCD dinc is ADR6300VW3.

The SKU on the box that my (and my wife's) AMOLED dincs came in has a SKU of ADR6300VW2 .

Of course, a replacement from VZW may not have any SKU on the packaging...

 

[rubbersoul]

my mistake. i'll just have to wait and see what they give me then. at first i was a little ticked about the refurb, but as long as there is no cosmetic damage whatsoever and everything works, i don't really care. at least with a refurb i should be confident everything works, haha. verizon was quiet helpful about the whole thing, though. i just called them up and told them the problem and they promptly put the phone on order which is set to be here already the next day. no second guessing me whatsoever.

if roms exist with the update already, can't root users just install those roms rather than going through the long-winded method of unrooting/rooting?? or is the update lower level than the rom? i guess that doesn't help any of us who are already updated though, haha.

 

[sdrawkcab25]

Yes, there are roms with the update already, has been even before the official update was issued.
