Root incredible w/o usb?

Ive switched from a rooted eris to my wifes old incredible. I really miss root but the usb Port on the incredible is trashed. Any way to one click root without having the phone connected to a comp?

I'm 99% sure the only was is to use unrevoked.com which needs a computer.

Dang. Oh well that's what i get for letting a five year old use my phone

There's a few one click root apps that claim they work on all droids. Give one a try.

Try visionary
Then use rom.manager to flash a recovery and use unrevoked forever to get s off

UnrEVOked requires USB still does it not?

How are you charging? Do you alternate two batteries in a charger then switch them?
There's some videos on youtube and also a site that sells parts for the incredible (sorry, can't find it today), like display & digitizer, that clearly show removing all parts (major assemblies) from the dinc. I think it might be possible to kludge a new usb port from wherever the traces met the old one.
Were pins broken off, or gum shoved in or worse? Just curious. I'd be trying to rip it apart to fix it
I'll look for the site that had the parts and let you know if you're interested. Found it once, so must be able to find it again. Displays were cheaper than I'd have thought.

Thanks for the help, yeah i just alternate batteries. Got an extended battery so im not switching out every five minutes. Ill take a look for replacement parts, but if you find a link that would be great. Basically the pins just got mashed in

Unrevoked forever is just a flash zip once you get a.custom.recovery
So there needs to be a way to transfer the zip to the SD, other than that it should work
I have no idea tho, but it seems plausible
Sent from my Incredible using XDA Premium App

So if i could figure out how to get a custom recovery, i could just copy the unrevoked zip file to my sd card by taking it out of my phone and plugging into my comp

Cool. OEM HTC Verizon Droid Incredible Charging Port seems like the thing to get when it's back in stock. I think any of the microUSB on-board sockets could be hacked to fit but if they've got this one here, seems like a go.
Thanks -

This may be a stupid question, but do you think these are "snap in"parts or do i need to bust out the soldering iron?

Check this one out::
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbNdqyjR_M0
It's for the EVO but I'm sure it's all similar enough. I can't really imagine that the USB port isn't soldered but I've not taken mine apart. You could contact that guy that put up the youtube video and ask him for details.
It sounds fairly doable given a fine point soldering iron and some time. He makes it sound like the combination of poor battery life , multiple usages all the time of the USB port will eventually cause it to separate from the main-board, so maybe this thing is actually reusable. I don't know how or where it separates.

Does gingerbread epic have tv out?

I just found out my van works with tv out (through 3.5mm jack). I know its in developement for froyo, but does gingy support it?

same question

It is a belief that there are too many blocks for it on Froyo but Gingerbread should open it up for use...may not be included in stock GB but who here uses stock..lol?

The service is not commented out in th init.rc for the first time ever..

Nice! So maybe.......

What's so frustrating is that if u look deep into the phone, its active and working. Its almost as if sprint has a block on it not samsung. In addition, if u download pro launcher u can create a shortcut for the tvout settings but it just forcecloses when u try to open. I'm dying for this feature so bad!!!

You know maybe they will finally let it out. Wasn't sprint tv the reason they wonked it for us? Because of the deal they had with the provider of that service or something. I hear they're doing away with it. Or they're gonna start charging for it or something.

I think u are missing the point, a lot of ppl want it to MIRROR to a tv. What's the point of connecting wireless to tv when u can only watch pictures and videos from ur phone memory. 3.5mm Tvout is so useful that u can connect to ANY tv. Think about it, how many tvs out there don't have RCA inputs????

If I'm not mistaken the support for TV out the Epic has is limited to USB -> HDMI.
I'm not 100% on this, there could also be support for TV out via the headphones jack.
But going by what most phones these days do, I'd say we'll see it via USB->HDMI before we do via 3.5mm headphone jack.

No Dice. MHL (aka mini USB -> HDMI) is a no go. EC05 Syndicate 1.2.

Like the 3.5mm, the usb to hdmi is also running but won't work. If u look deep into phone, u can see that its there but blocked somehow . Its believed to be blocked by sprint
Rumors say gingerbread update might unblock. But ofcourse don't hold your breath for either the update or unblock

It's very likely considering that the port obviously works.

Yeah, I agree. I just have one problem I don't wanna see like a little 10 year old annoying kid. But I just got into the rooting community and such. My phone is unrooted at the moment so do you have any idea where I could get these drivers?

WiFi file explorer won't fix your problem but will let you transfer files back and forth over WiFi. My Ian port has been messed up for awhile this has been my fix.
Swyped from my Orange Peeled Synergist EVO

I have been experiencing this very issue for almost a month now. Hard, reset, reinstalled drivers, done it all but to no avail. (wife's Evo connects with ease; Win7 sp1)
Been thinking that the usb por is broken - but I can still charge. I can adb and transfer over wi-fi. Only thing wish I could do wirelessly was qpst.
Anyway, I am happy just as long as I can charge the evo. If that changes, then I will get a repair done for $40.
Hope this really isn't the case.

Most likely is a busted usb port, same thing happened to one of the evo's I worked with. Charging fine but will not get discovered by any computers(tried multiple computers with multiple usb cables), but when pushing the cable into the port all my force windows recognized the phone but gave an error for "unknown device", had to actually get another usb port and repair it myself (better than paying $100), drivers definitely not the case here

Thanks everyone! Just gonna go pay 100$ for a new one. I was really wanting to root so if I can't without it being hooked to a computer might as well get a new one.

Why would you pay $100?
If you pay the $8 take it to the Sprint store and they'll look at it.
The $100 is for physical/water damage or lost/stolen phone.

Reboot your phone and go to running services and make sure calendar sync is still running. I don't know why but if you stop that from running it won't connect to your P.C.

I have something running called calendar, but can't find calendar sync? Same thing or?

[Q] Help? I Think I Just Bricked My Phone

I was in odin attempting to go back to stock and my screen went completely green during the process, left it plugged in hoping it would just keep working, but odin stopped. I am pretty sure my battery died during the process (very dumb of my but I was paying little attention to battery beforehand). I eventually pulled the battery, and now I cannot get any response from my phone at all. Won't charge, won't go back to odin. Any suggestions?

Battery CPR. Pop it in and out and try to get back into download mode. The colored screen is a sign of a bad cable. Get a heavy duty blackberry cable. You can also try with no battery and the usb cable in the computer to get into download mode. It will go in eventually.

Interestingly enough, it seems to be a combination of cheap cables vs. usb ports. My laptop can Odin first time, every time with the stock Samsung cable. However, my work computer fails 19/20 times unless I use the smaller stockier Blackberry cable I have.

Is your work computer a desktop? And if so are you using the USB ports in the rear directly on the motherboard?

It's a desktop, and I've tried all 6 ports, 4 in the back, 2 in the front. Same results all around. Of course, this computer is a relative beast, but it seems to have usb issues regardless.
On the other hand, my home desktop has no issues as well, I just don't use it as much as my laptop. Develop alone in a dark room? Nah! I develop on the couch watching Big Bang Theory with my wife and son.

Phone not charging with Samsung chargers

So a few days ago my 2 month old s3 stopped charging, but only with Samsung chargers. I have tried 3 different ones so far. It seems to charge just fine with any other charger, htc, Motorola, ect. I used an air gun and cleaned out the charging port, but to no avail. I am stock except rooted. Haven't really installed anything recently. My question, do I bother sending it in for repair, or should I live with it? I don't want to have to unroot and backup everything to send it in if its only going to do it again in a few months. Anyone else have this problem?

Did you try a different Samsung charger with the same cord? Or even a different Samsung charger with a different cord?

Might be the USB port.... in which case you should ask for a replacement phone.

Don't bother with all the drama. It's an easy fix. Go on ebay, find an s3 charging port and replace it yourself. You just remove the battery, unscrew the back panel, and then port just snaps on and off. Take it off and snap the new one in place.
And I'd make a nandroid and then flash a custom rom.. See if it's software related.. If not, that means it's hardware.. But if you really want, talk to sprint, they have to give you a new one if manufacturer defect like that.

Sounds pretty easy to fix. Not sure if I want to void the warranty yet though.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

You wouldn't be voiding the warranty I don't think. Not to mention there's no way for them to know. Where the port is located, doesn't have any warranty seals or anything. I don't think any of the phone does besides maybe along the antenna. Check out some YouTube videos and you'll see how simple it is. No saudering drama. Just simple clip on and off kinda like a button

I have a similar problem: I have the same model phone, and I found that I can only charge using a data cord, not a generic charging cord. I can't imagine the reason, but I have found that unless a charger utilizes a true data cord, charging won't happen.
