I've been trying to flash it for DAYS now & no dice!.
I use Ra recovery & wipe before flashing I ALWAYS get a
(STATUS 7) ro.bootloader error it's annoying & do have NAND unlocked with Unrevoked forever I was successfully able to flash fresh but not this. Help please? =]
Have you visited the Q&A section?
Your not completely nand unlocked trust me i had the same problem and couldnt figure it out for the lift of me and i thought i was nand unlocked also. Until i actually realized i was fully rooted was when i could sucessfully flash that rom. You may think your fully rooted but id make sure. Soon as you are fully rooted you will be able to flash it. hope i helped a bit
Thank you! Screw it I'll just keep fresh it's fast for me

will it work with me already rooted via unrevoked?
Same problem here don't know how to go forward.
do a search in either the q & a forum or nightly thread for 'ro.bootloader' and you should probably get an answer
sorry, I've made wrong post
same problem here, cant seem to be able to flash without status 7 on a tmobile g1
FIXED , it was a missnamed ROM
(actually wrong ROM with right name lol)

Hi -
I just rooted my Incredible running the 2.2 OTA using the new Unrevoked release. It worked great! I installed the clockwork mod using the advice from this article (didn't use clockwork after all, used Root Explorer to move the apps I didn't want to folder I created)
jonamerica.com/technology/remove-bloatware-from-htc-droid-incredible-2-2/[/url]
I didn't know that I could use Root Explorer and do the same thing myself....
Is there any easy way to uninstall the Clockwork Recovery mod? I couldn't find any info online on bringing it back to stock. - My main concern is that any future OTA updates will be messed up with this installed.
I have heard stories about it bricking phones after the install???? If need be I will return the phone to stock and start over (link to how to do this anyone?)
I'm new to all this, any info/links would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I'll be honest with you..I've never heard a story of clockwork mod bricking someone's phone...Usually bricking occurs when someone does something out of order or fails to follow directions. Either way, take a look at this guide..if you want to return to stock...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=760306
Future OTA updates? haha, i dont know. 2.2 is out. HTC fufilled their commitment, i think we have a while especially if the incredible is being upgraded to magical gingerbread. Good luck!
Thanks for getting back so quickly!
I assume I would use section 6 - the PB31IMG is the 2.2 RUU correct?
Is this even possible? If you flash back to the RUU, it will wipe your ROM. Doing so will put the bloatware back on to the phone. In order for Root Explorer to have su access to remove the bloatware, you'd need to flash "SuperUser.apk". Wouldn't you need to install a custom recovery to do this? At this point, you're right back to where you started. I guess there might be a way to install SuperUser.apk through adb.
Don't take this as gospel. I'm still getting my feet wet. I might be missing something...

thanks for the reply -
I was mainly looking for a quick way to get the phone back to %100 stock just in case I have to send it back to VZW. When I worked at VZW certain RUU's wouldn't flash if the version was the same, not sure if that's changed or not. Just wondering if I ran the RUU would it return everything to stock?
Yes. Since you are s-on, the ruu would take you back to full stock.

CWM
There are at least 2 schools of thought on CWM, but this is the first place I'd read where it could brick your device.
That said, following the guidance on how to use it found here and elsewhere, CWM ~ while not pretty or particularly intuitive ~ won't brick your device, in and of itself.
I know your Qx has to do with getting it back to shelf-status, but the threads posted above should get you where you want/need to be -

You'll need to apply the s-on patch before flashing the RUU.

If you're rooted just flash a rooted rom, there's a few out already.

My bad on posting in the wrong place, im on my phone and figured someone in this section would be the first to know, I appologize. I flashed a rom already with the new ota but I want to update the radio and 4g too and I read that aside from the possibilites of having 4g connection issues via bad mac addresses the new radio will cause problems with my old hboot and once I go to the 2.10 version rooting is not possible. I was just looking for any info saying otherwise but its a bit hard on the phone app to scroll through everything. I'll just wait until someone gets the root working and then unroot via s-on ,ruu back to stock 3.29 and dl the ota via HTC software update. Thanks for the time.

just got this working about an hr ago so give it a shot
I just got an INC and it was 2.2 out of the box. I have a ton of questions. I did look around for the answers. If I ask something that has already been answered, I apologize.
1. How do I know if I have an LCD or Amoled Screen
1a. Do I need to know this for a recovery image (Dont you have to have one?)
2. I have not done anything yet but download titanium-What do I need to do with this?
3. I keep hearing about a nandroid backup? How do I do this?
I am sure I forgot something but I will edit if so. I have been trying to figure this out but I am finding a lot of conflicting answers when it comes to doing things with the INC. I just want to make sure I have everything in order to flash a vanilla rom.
Thanks
I cant post any links cuz im a noob on this site but I used the Root guide and remove bloat guide from jonamerica
just rooted mine a couple of days ago! I have not added a custom rom yet but my Hydra kernel is sick and I removed all my bloat with Titanium. Have fun! I sure am loving the results.

I can't post links either, but here is some information to help you get started. There are guides to rooting in these forums and on other sites; google "root incredible slcd".
1. Check the SKU on the box your Incredible came in. If it ends in W3 you've got an SLCD screen. Apparently all (or nearly all) of the new units (that is, those sold in the last few months) are SLCD.
1a. Yes, it makes a difference. Carefully read the instructions before you root to make sure you've got a recovery image for an SLCD screen.
2. Titanium won't work until you're rooted.
3. After you're rooted you'll be able to do a full backup through the recovery console.
I googled it and found this guide. Awesome tool t

I am in no way saying this in a mean way so please don't take offense but I think you should do a little more research before you pursue this. Just clicking a different subforum this pops up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744807
use the search feature here, read all you can about rooting, clockwork, berzerkers recovery, and especially unrevoked. know the risks you are taking doing this. know that you WILL void your warranty. i'm not trying to scare you, i just don't think this is something to be rushed into.

I'm asking because I do not want to do anything without making sure...anymore lol
After doing that. I will have clockwork installed, correct? Except I have no clue what version of unrevoked I ran. I am rooted though. I know I am rooted and everything. I did this so I could install a vanilla rom. But I have to say, I am honestly lost. I have rooted other devices but am realizing that I literally know nothing about this stuff. So, sorry about all the questions and I'm trying to learn.
Ok, I realize I am like the dumbest person on this forum but. I have root. I have BAmod Recovery installed. I did the backup from recovery and did a batch recovery in titanium of all system data+apps. Am I good to go as far as backups go? And I have flashed roms before, just not on this phone. Once I have done these two things. Am I ok to flash a rom?
I try and keep it as simple as possible-
1. Root (to open up your phone's system)
2. Backup (just in case u mistake- u have to be rooted to even make a backup. Just rooted is not really much by itself, it just opens the doors so-to-speak)
3. Rom (apply all the different goodies previously unavailabe to you on your non rooted phone- someone else created these for all of us losers to enjoy for free-just make sure the rom you use is specific to your phone and android version)
Use these
1. Z4

3. Rom manager clockwork
Also, bootloader/ bootstrap recovery- after u dload a rom to sd, use this to boot into recovery and select it from sd and reboot with

If the guy has an Incredible, are you saying he needs to use bootstrap? I have that on my Droid X because of Motorola's *lovely* gift to us, but NOT on my Dinc. Just curious...

Good point-
the rom manager should work for this on the inc.
I have better luck with the bootloader on the x, as you said since we have the nice kernel on lockdown with the x. Ha

I have not done anything with bootstrap or bootloader. What are those?

The bootstrap will make a backup and also reboot your phone into the bootloader where u can pick the rom to boot into from your sd. There a few programs, at least, that do this -verify your phone compatibilty.

Wow. You must live under a rock...LOL. Or don't read threads before you post. Gingerbread man! Gingerbread! If you want it then you need to be completely stock. You could also flash a custom GB ROM.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
If you were running syndicate and you let the ota update run, then you lost your root. Your running "stock" gingerbread now. No more clockwork mod. You have to re-root your phone by flashing the cwm 3.0.0.1 tar with the phone in download mode. Then flash a different kernel first. There's a couple on here to chose from and they are both wonderful. and then you can install an EI22 rom of your choice.

If you want the OTA then Odin back to complete stock from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813
Otherwise if you are on the EC05 modem you can update your modem from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339401
And then flash any EI22 ROM that strikes your fancy.
Hello,
My phone is rooted but ROM is stock. I don't generally flash anything and just stick to removing bloatware.
I installed TWRP and now I cannot get the latest official OTA AT&T update since the update load fails due to not having stock recovery. I have been searching online and cannot figure out how to get stock recovery.
I have been able to locate a supposed stock zip ROM for this phone. Can I just somehow flash this ZIP to return my phone to stock.
On previous phones I have been able to do a factory reset, which I have done several times on this phone today, in order to get it back to stock and accept OTA updates. This TWRP seems extremely invasive and I cannot get rid of it.
Thanks for any help

I am the original poster. My phone would not flash the stock ATT rom that I downloaded somewhere. It could have been a bad ROM.
I could only end up getting into recovery and download mode. I did something to erase the entire operating system.
The guys over at TWRP or at least the guys on the message board got me through it. I ended up flashing the 3.5 clean rom. I never flashed a rom before only rooted. i also flashed the new modem zip as well. So far so good I guess.
Im going to have to figure out how to do an entire backup of my phone so that next time I can just restore it.

Boot in to recovery (it's now an option from the power button) and follow the very easy buttons for backup. Select everything for an entire system backup (7 checks, I believe). Future backups can be just your data and apps if you want.
