[Q] Can't Select anything in Recovery 2.5.0.5

I have S-OFF tried running unrevoked 3 again to reflash recovery but no luck. Anyone have a resolution for this?

Details? When you say "can't", does the optical button do nothing, or does it not do what you'd expect? Did earlier recoveries work?

The optical button does nothing and earlier recoveries worked fine.

Okay, three possible approaches:
1. Redownload and try again (in case of corrupt download).
2. Make doubly sure you flashed the version for the inc.
3. Flash back to 2.5.0.4. There really aren't any major improvements in 2.5.0.5.

Uh you can use the volume rocker and power key....did you try that?

what exactly do you do to make this work? I reverted back to 2.4 and it still won't work properly.

Maybe a dumb question, but does the optical track pad work in other apps? I.e. If you're keying a text message can you use the track pad to move around?

[Q] Trouble getting recovery image and superuser access

Hey guys I looked all over for a solution for hours and I didn't see a thread containing my exact problem/solution so I will post it here. Here is my problem:
I flashed TMartin's Gingersense Rom and thought it was flashable back to recovery, but I realized it was a complete system dump after doing so. I have downloaded the new Superuser update to 2.3.6.1 although the phone doesn't detect it. This is what it says: "an error occurred and su was not updated. A zip file (su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip) has been placed on your sd card, please reboot into recovery mode and flash it to update your su binary."
My Evo doesn't think it's rooted even though it has the superuser app installed. I also tried using Rom Manager to reboot into recovery mode but it says this: "you must root your phone for Rom Manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su". Use google search on your computer to find instructions to root your phone." I have also tried to turn it off and press "voldown+power" and it goes straight to the rom. I believe I've overwritten the recovery image and I even know where to begin. I had clockwork 2.6 and 2 nandroid back-ups before doing this. Is there something I'm missing? Please help!

same thing happened with me and a couple evo's on my xp pro box.
what i did was, i just started the process over from the beginning...one of them took a couple times to stick.

Well Tmartin had a flashable zip of the gingersense rom. In the thread that got closed, in the OP, there were a few links. One was for a flashable zip, and the others were the system dump, as you noted.
When you boot to the bootloader, does it show you S off, or S on? When you select recovery from the bootloader, what is your result? Do you get a black screen/red triangle? Or does it just hang at the splash or something? If you're S off, you should just be able to flash a PC36IMG of recovery, and then flash a new rom from there. If you're S on, and have no recovery, then you'll need to re root your phone.

How do I even go about doing that?

Oh woops I didn't see you reply k2buckley lol. I can't boot into the bootloader, it goes straight into the rom.

Shut down your device. Simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. After a short pause, a few lines of text will scroll across the screen. You will then be in the bootloader menu. At the top, you should see either S-ON or S-OFF.

Just tried it. It doesn't boot into the bootleader, it just goes straight to the rom. I can imagine it has to be S-Off because it has superuser permissions (even though I can't access) it

You can't get to your bootloader? Are you on the Gingerbread Sense rom? If so, go to menu>settings>applications. Uncheck "fastboot". THen shut your phone off, and try to get to the bootloader again. Should work this time.

THat would be it Doug! That silly little setting has been giving a lot of people confusion while trying to enter recovery, lol.

I got into the bootloader! Brilliant! It is S-Off and I am in recovery with clockwork. I'm reverting to my back-up now. Thank you!

Yea, I only remember because it happened to me when I tested out that rom, lol. I too am running SalvageMod 1.2.1. It's been my daily for a bit now, just super smooth and stable for me. I was running some of the Salvage Nightlies too, which were good. The nightly 13 I tried had music controls on the lockscreen, which I'm a big fan of. It also came with Tiamat 3.3.7 kernel, which my phone hates. I went back to the stable build for now. I'm also curious to see Myn's next project. That interview that was on Good and Evo revealed that he's working on Warm Gingerbread. I keep hoping for one of those emails from Myn, with a nice link to some beta action!
To The OP:
Glad you got it worked out! Good deal man.

No doubt, my friend and you can best believe we will receive that email soon. As for Tiamet, my device loves it. I haven't tried any of the nightlies because the stable version is more than I expected. Anyway, take care and enjoy your weekend....

[Q] Which Incredible ROMs support optical trackpad wake?

Can anyone point me to, or provide me, a list of ROMs that support Optical Trackpad wake for the Incredible? I had a Trackball Wake option on my Eris, and I really miss that on the Inc.

I flashed Cyanogen Mod last December before my first Dinc broke and I believe it did. But it doesn't have sense fyi

I have only tried a few roms, but If im not mistaking you can just flash the /usr files over any droid inc rom and it should enable the trackpad wake and unlock.
I pulled the usr folder from rewind 3d rom (which has trackpad wake and unlock) and made an update.zip. Go ahead and just place in the root of your sd and flash.
Let me know if it worked out for you?

use skyraider 4.2-4.3

All of Chingy's ROMs have it built in. As far as I know, it's kinda hit and miss whether it works or not. Every ROM I ever tried with it sometimes worked the first push, sometimes the 10th push.

If you flash a custom kernel, you won't need that app, and you will have full plug-n-play HDMI mirroring. If you download Kernel Manager Lite from the Market, you want the "PoonSense" kernel. That's the stock Gingerbread kernel, with HDMI mirroring built in. No reason to downgrade.

+1 on that Capt is the man who knows.

A note about Kernel Manager - you can't let it flash the kernel for you - it won't work. After it downloads, you'll need to reboot into recovery and flash it manually. There should be a Kernel Manager folder on the SD card that contains the downloaded kernel.

Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache? You should always do that before flashing a kernel (after wouldn't hurt either, I guess).
I can't think of any reason you would get stuck, if it was working previously.
EDIT: Actually, I just thought of one - what recovery are you using? If it's not RA-supersonic, then that's likely your problem.

Poonsense
Hi - I downloaded the kernel poonsense and have the same exact problem- phone wont boot up keeps going to the white screen back to the Sinister 'droid' screen before which is usually the screen before lock screen but goes back to white htc screen back and forth- any suggestions?
Thanks,
TJ

don't use that kernel, try lionfish or chop seuy follow the flash instructions I posted above and you should be good to go. Also I believe he put as2d in the ROM so if you have a partition you will see the evo white screen 3 times before it boots.

Hi I've got everything back up and running with a new ' lionfish' kernel - what a pain in the ass but wrks great so far. Does this kernel have full hdmi mirroring?- I wont be able to test it out for a day.

Make sure to take a nandroid backup of your current ROM,if you dont like or face any sort of issue then that backup will restore your previous things...

Just about the only way to fully replicate functionality (as far as I know) is to flash a custom ROM. It's not as hard as it sounds, just look up a Sense ROM (there's a listing in this very forum!) and flash it (look for a guide or check the IRC if you're having trouble).

Try looking in that thread's "Sense-based" section. However, the newest Gingerbread (3.5) version of Sense in a ROM is with this one. However, that's not even close to final (as far as I know), so, if you want something more stable, try a Sense 2.x ROM.

Try this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631996&page=17.
I think, that is the most complete sense 2.1 rom.

Ohh, sometimes the launcher is starting, it will show the HTC logo and look as if it is on the splash screen, but that could be entirely different. Wait for 10 minutes, if nothing works then flash KoolSense. The dev seems to have lots of stuff working, kudos to him
