Root [ROM] The Fourth (and Final?) Wave | Droid Incredible

[xkingofgodzx]

I flashed this ROM and everything worked great except on the home screen it will not show my location and weather. I just see the time and it says "My Location" under the time. First I thought it was GPS not working. I opened Maps and it worked just fine. Locations is activated. I have found no obvious setting not checked. Is there a setting to be checked that I am overlooking? I have the exact same issue with Sky Raider 3RC3 as well.

I was having the same issue. I just opened the weather and kept refreshing it and it picked up my location. Now it is staying current. Im not sure if this is a pertinent fix or not it just a heads up.

Thanks for the info. I will give this a shot on my next day off. I know it really had me puzzled. Everything worked great except for that and my now longstanding problem of not being able to silence my phone ringing with the power button which has happened since I flashed my first ROM. I thought maybe after a period of time it would pick up but after 2-3 hours with no change I just flashed back to my previous ROM.

Adrynalyne has addressed this issue on his blog here. This is what he has to say:

"This apparently is needed for some of my ROMs, so I am providing it to you. It is installed via HBOOT, and requires s-off. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING. You may need to restore it after."

Here is a direct link to the hboot .92 file, but I would go to the site instead.

Thanks again for the prompt response Adrynalyne.

I installed hboot .92 and still got the error when I installed the file. Ended up installing the kernel separately and that worked.

i installed the .92 after getting the "error at line 92" and it STILL won't install. it aborts the installation almost immediately after the error therefore i can't install the rom. any help from here?

edit: ok so even though it said installation aborted, i rebooted it and it seems to have installed..is there a way to verify it's actually fourthwave?

edit 2: SAFOGTHASFONASFNUGASN i did a titanium backup of my apps, ive done it before and had no problem before, but NOW NOTHING WILL REINSTALL. i couldn't be anymore pissed right now. when i go into the titanium backup folder on my sd card and manually click the com files, it says there's no app for opening this file, and ive had that stupid backup assistant force close ~10 times in the past 2 minutes. so far this is a terrible rom, i hope there's some sort of fix for this

I tried to record a video earlier and I selected "720p". When I went back to check the settings, "720p" was no longer an option. It was totally gone. Does anyone know the fix for this?

Edit: Nevermind. It was because I selected "H.264" after selecting "720p". You have to keep it on "MPEG4" if you want "720p". I learned something new today. I don't mess with the camcorder too much. I was just trying to get some footage of my grandson.

Wow, you can select compression now?
Is that option specific to 4th Wave or is it also available in other Froyo ROMs?

 

[andreezy]

Dumb question, can I simply install this like your other roms, or will I need to revert radio or anything else first?

I'm currently running third wave, with

hydra undervolt kernel .5
h boot 0.77
radio 2.15.00.7.28

That has been available on all the "leak" based ROMs I know of.

you can install it fine... just ignore the error if u get it when installing the rom

 

[Asterdroid]

So I am guessing that this has all the modifications from the other "Wave" ROMs like increased VM heap?

 

[mdonova33]

Still wont install, says esigniture was not verified.

not it says the zip is "bad"

 

[yojoe600]

what is your hboot number

 

[mdonova33]

what is your hboot number

.92

 

[FuzzyKeys]

Cannot open zip (bad).

Rooted
S-Off
HBoot: .92
Radio: 2.15
Kernel: Stock

Any ideas here?

 

[andreezy]

My perceived installation steps: (Please correct me if i'm wrong)

1) insure root, s_off, and 2.15 radio
2) nandroid, and titanium backup
3) update to hboot .92
4) rename fourth.zip to update.zip (on root of SD Card)
5) wipe cache and data
6) goto hboot, install from update.zip
7) let it reboot when complete.
8) if no boot, restore nandroid for hboot .77

Correct or No?
Suggestions always welcome!

The ROM should be installed from recovery, not hboot & it doesn't need to be renamed.

 

[andreezy]

Note changes below:

1) insure root, s_off, and 2.15 radio
2) nandroid, and titanium backup
3) update to hboot .92
4) copy fourth.zip (on root of SD Card)
5) wipe cache and data
6) goto recovery, install from zip file, fourth.zip
7) let it reboot when complete.
8) if no boot, restore nandroid for hboot .77

Any more comments especially on staying at hboot .92 or going back to hboot .77?

How do you just upgrade HBOOT to .92?

How do you just upgrade HBOOT to .92?

Just download the image and install it via hboot.

HBOOT .92 Just another blog

 

[jiggaDROID]

OK, I ran it and it looks like the update was successful because my HBOOT version updated, but it keeps booting to HBOOT, it won't boot to the phone.

 

[rcicu]

How do you just upgrade HBOOT to .92?

place the HBOOT PB31IMG.zip on the ROOT of your SD-Card and follow the same steps that you did to get S-off

Good Luck

 

[jiggaDROID]

Crap, please help.. I just read the part about doing a Nandroid backup and didn't do 1 because I didn't see it until now.. I've done them in the past but it's saved on my computer at home and I"m at work.. Please advise how to resolve this, I can't boot past HBOOT.

 

[jiggaDROID]

I only have a 2 gig sd card which is why it's saved on my computer.. since they were bigger files I just kept them there.

 

[jiggaDROID]

Worst case scenario, would it work if I just wait until I get home from work, download Fourth Wave to my computer, mount sdcard and plug phone in, copy Fourth Wave to root of SD, and then install file from zip? Would that let me get the update and back to the phone again?

 

[DizkoDan]

Sorry, I keep opening this to reply, and get sidetracked. Yes, you should be able to install any ROM or restore a nandroid at this point.
