Also you can do adb by going into recovery and hit enable usb

I figured out that pre3.70 builds don't like these new partitions related to newer hboots....

CM 3.0.0.8 Question

Morning all,
I flashed CM 3.008 onto my Incredible, via ROM Manager. When I reboot into recovery I go back to the default HTC recovery, and not CM. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,

Have you tried flashing the recovery manually? Rom manager never works for me when I try flashing a recovery but doing it in hboot always works

Nandroid Restore Loses Root Write Permissions

Hello,
Noob here. I've run into this issue with my Nandroid restores where I suddenly lose write permissions. I can still read, but if I try to write anything to the root, I get a insufficient permissions error.
Using CWM 5.0.2.6
SuperSU v.0.87
Clean Stock ICS from KIES
Odin 1.85 Flash CWM
Backup
Root w/ SuperSU v.0.87
Success.
Spend hours upon hours making it perfect V1
Backup Perfect V1
Spend hours upon hours perfecting perfection...
Which leads to imperfection(Deleted necessary System File)
Restore Perfect V1
Write access lost.
Is there a way I can regain the root somehow without a clean install?
Thank you in Advance.
I believe this is a known issue when restoring nandroid back ups. Your only recourse is to reflash the rom and start over.

I just posted this yesterday...use touch recovery and it will work...i went through a lot trying to get this to work yesterday...i thought it was the device management doing it..so after i restored before booting i pulled my Sim and then booted phone froze dm then rebooted with Sim...but once you notice no rw it's to later and you have to start from the backup again...I've used both touch recoveries and they work fine...but cwm 2.6 and 2.7 don't work they also cause my phone to hang when turning off....but this will only work if the backup is right to begin with...

Man, as much as I hate to say this but better you than me.
I would like to say thank you!! I was on 5.2.7 CWM, and I was having this issue, when I updated to 6.x.x and did a restore, I have all of my permissions back, THANK YOU!

|Add On| "S" Boot Anim

"S" Stock Boot/Shutdown Anim
For anyone who wants to switch out the stock boot animation in any ROM, this is the "S" Boot screen pulled from the Koodo 4.0.4 Update.
This will replace your stock boot screen on any kernel as it is not a "custom" boot animation

Oh that would be because your ROM is running a custom boot animation. Go into media and delete the boot animation.zip
