Does anyone know where to get a copy of the stock inc2 recovery image? This is something I failed to backup before installing Clockworkmod recovery image.
Thanks In Advance.
The are some here that say they are for the vivo_w(DInc2), but are in the IS forums.
Thanks. Downloading now. We'll see how it goes.
Thread moved to proper forum.
Very nice. I was able extract the stock ROM which includes the stock recovery image. Thanks for the link. Now I cam revert my phone for warranty purposes. Haven't tried it yet though.

it would be good if we could get that posted somewhere for everyone. i'm sure someone's gonna need to return their phone to VZ soon enough.
If you follow the link provided by TB13, you will see the download link for the vivo_w which is for the incredible 2. Launch the application to let it extract everything (its Windows only) and check your temp directory for the directory created by the application (guid format). You will see a Rom.zip file which contains what you need.

I was able to successfully revert back to stock Froyo 2.2.1 (non-rooted) using the RUU image RUU_Vivo_W_VERIZON_WWE_1.34.605.3_Radio_0.99.01.02 25_2_NV_VZW1.92_release_181303_signed from TB13's link above. After running the RUU I still have S-OFF from AlphaRevX. This did remove clockworkmod recovery and restore the default HTC recovery. This was just to verify it worked.

Only thing is, I'm not sure that's what shipped on the Inc2's. From what I've read, I think it might be 1.34.605.4 is what shipped. That said, same results here. I did go ahead and end up reinstall clockwork and have Gingersense back from recovery. Wonderful stuff.

Ahh. I did verify the HBOOT and radio versions were the same from my original configuration though.
Interesting. No quite what I was hoping for out of that RUU, but I guess I can't complain. The real interest is seeing if someone who is S-ON and running OTA can use it to downgrade and get S-OFF.

I am getting another Dinc 2 in the mail today. If it has GB on it, I will attempt to flash 2.2.1 RUU and see what happens. I will post the results here. Only thing is, how do I attempt to flash that on a stock s-off GB phone? I do see un1c0de has some instructions, but what should I do with Rom.zip once I have it? My other problem is I have to return the one I have, which is s-off. I will have to flash the RUU on there too, but I just hope they don't catch the fact that it is s-off. (I'm not trying to pull a scam. Bought the Dinc 2 at retail, then found out I could trade in my POS Fascinate for a free Dinc 2, so now I have to return the one I bought. Nothing wrong with it, just want my $475 back)
Edit: Looks like someone tried and posted their results in another thread. Oh well. Hopefully for me it still has froyo on it when it gets here.
You just news to run the ruu in Windows.

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...

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...

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.

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.

Hey guys,
I used the AlpharevX Windows beta to S-OFF my Inc 2, then rooted using CWM (still on stock rom). I can see the OTA, and can download it, but it won't install.
The progress bar gets about 1/3 the way full then comes up with the triangle with the !.
I've tried it two or three times, did factory reset, have no idea what to do. Do I have to S-ON for it to install? If so, how exactly do I do that?

First, you cannot install an OTA when you have a custom recovery such as CWM installed. You at least need to install the original recovery image for your particular ROM before you try again.
Since the OTA in now available and official, why don't you just wait a few hours and someone will have a fully rooted version of the ROM that you can flash using CWM and not worry about losing S-OFF?
Let me give you a fair warning though, I'm not positive how Alpha set up their root, as I used XTC. BUT I know if you install the OTA with replacing CWM with regular recovery, you MAY be turned back to S-ON WITHOUT an option to get root back, UNLESS using the XTC clip. Enjoy.
Okay, I was afraid of that. I'm used to not even being able to see OTA's at all with CWM (came from Droid X), so it kind of threw me off.
Do you have any idea if the OTA is really any different from the leaked Inc S GB rom that's floating around? If, for some reason, it takes forever to get the ota rooted and they're not that different I may just install the leaked one I have.
Not trying to be a pain, just curious.

Check the Dev section. It looks like there is already a rooted, debloated version available.
I just created a PG32IMG.zip containing. Android-info text file and CWM recovery img renamed to recovery.img and placed it on root of sdcard
Booted into hboot and flashed it ...
Then I replaced the recovery with the stock recovery from the froyo ruu and flashed the stock recovery back....
Then flashed right back to CWM..
Never used any commands via windows or linux
I am going to install the ota and try to go back to cwm recovery and see what I can do from there.

You will recieve the OTA update and get Gingerbread. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED BY MANY that you will NOT be able to -reroot. if you can that's because of the hboot alpha gave you. but if it changes ur hboot you need XTC clip to re-root. RMK already posted a ROOTED ROM of the current OTA. SAME THING, why chance root for OTA. THEY ARE THE EXACT SAME FILES. BUT WITH ROOT! just use his ROM. my 2 cents. do as you please
Link
Hey, Instead of Don't do this, do that, do this, don't update that, If you want the release and don't want to lose root, install from this link. This guy(rmk40) spent some time to get this out to us. Awesome work! You won't lose root, everything works.

is there a way to remove clockwork recovery? my wife's phone has s-off and recovery, but she wants to keep it stock and use the OTA upgrade.
You should really check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161411
I just flashed this over my stock froyo. Worked flawlessly, didn't lose any apps or anything. Removes all the VZW bloat and runs perfectly.
One thing to note, I believe you'll have to manually update your radio to the newest version but it's no big deal.
You can find the newest radio here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134451
From what I've read the radio that comes with the OTA is 20.27W.30.0811U_1.09.01.0622 unless someone can tell me I'm wrong.
i know all about that. but i still would like to know how to go back to stock recovery if possible.

You'll have to reflash the RUU and overwrite CWM with the stock recovery image once more.
If you don't mind me asking is there a reason why?
The only way I'd even consider doing this is if you're going to return the phone or if there's something wrong with it.
Why not just flash the official OTA that RMK put together and then flash the new radio?
It's EXACTLY the same thing minus the verizon bloat apps, heck it even runs faster than the stock OTA.
Do you flash the new radio like you would a new rom?

No, There's a certain way you have to do it. Pretty easy BUT you have to check the MD5 to make sure it's not corrupt, otherwise you'll brick.
put the P32IMG.zip file onto the root of your sd card. Boot into hboot by holding vol down and power on startup.
It'll search your sd card and then ask to update. press power to update. It'll reboot when finished.

The issue is that if you flash the new OTA you'll lose root for the foreseable future. Currently most are unsure if it will undo the s-off and in the process you may lose the ability to root until a new exploit is found.
Read the first thread that is stickied on this forum about the OTA.

There's an app in the android market called AFV (android file verifier) that allows you to check the md5 sum of files you download directly on your phone. I would suggest you install that app and make sure the md5 matches the radio file you downloaded before flashing the radio as changing radios has much more potential to brick your phone entirely that traditional rom flashing.
this is for my wife's phone. mine is running CM7. my concern is that if i go forward with a rooted gingerbread, i won't be able to return her to full stock recovery and rom later. i don't want to do anything to her phone i can't undo later. is there a path for that after upgrading to the rooted stock rom?

Of course, it can always be undone later on. However, if you do the OTA update then you will not be able to root until a different exploit has been found.
This is why we're trying to get you to go the route of the rooted stock rom.
Just follow the directions in the first 2 posts of that thread and she'll be as stock as she got the phone (Minus having root, it being faster, etc....)
what's the rollback if we want to go full stock. no root, no CWM - stock enough to send to verizon.
I understand about the wife issues. My widest inc2 arrives in a few day. My plan is root and stock debloated Rom for her. She won't even know its not stock. That way when she wants sense 3.0 I can give it to her. If she knows I never hear the end of it.

Why are you unrooting his device? If it's to get the OTA 2.3.3 update, wouldn't it be easier to flash a rooted stock froyo rom, go to the system update setting and then update? Of course, I'm assuming that is what you're trying to do so forgive me if I misunderstood your post.

Ok, sorry for not being very informed. He tried to update to the ota but it failed. I assumed that it must be because the s-off since he hadn't done anything but tether.
He really has no need to be rooted because the only thing he wanted todo was tether. Now, I have turned the s-on, but the pc36img fails to update.
Is it safe to just check for/install the system up? Or does the phone need to be unrooted?

If you already have S-On, all you need to do is flash the ruu that coincides with software 3.70 or 3.29. You can download any of the ruus for the EVO by clicking on the RUU link in my signature. Also, there's a link to rooted stock roms in my link, as well.

Honestly, my bro-in-law doesn't need root. Here I am trying to fix his problem. I've spent more time on this than I should. I mod my X, but the evo confuses me some.
Are you saying he can take the ota rooted, with s-on?
You need S-Off for permanent root and ability to flash custom ROMs. So before you take the OTA for him, as long as the phone is 2.2, run Unrevoked once again and install AmonRa.
Does he even like Sense? I would suggest trying one of the setups from my sig, or even MIUI if he doesn't need 4G.
You could have S-On and get the OTA, which would make his phone unrootable and boring, or you could just root back and flash a ROM with better battery life (I hear that Calkulin's works great, but so do other ROMs)
Before you do anything, try showing him pictures of MIUI, SalvageMod, MikG or another ROM and ask what he likes best.

I understood from your earlier post that your brother-in-law didn't need root and thus the reasons for the answers I gave. Yes, he can accept the OTA while S-ON and he will indeed upgrade his device to 2.3.3, however, should he wish to unroot afterwards, he won't be able to until an exploit can be found. I take it your friend isn't the type of person who flashes roms, mods, kernels and such.

check your hboot version and S off status
if its hboot 2.16 and S on, you are boned since you unrooted it when you took the gb update
so basically...dont tell your friend that you screwed his chances to root yourself lol
the correct route would have been to flash with a rooted stock GB ota wich was already out there, but its too late now : /

Well, if you took the OTA, you should be on the newer hboot, in which you go to revolutionary.io and follow the instructions. All the files you need will be there.

You are going to be forever doing it that way, because now you will be S-OFF twice, once in the bootloader (from Revolutionary) and again under the nv radio (from unrevoked). Then you will have 2 of them to get rid of before you are S-ON, but getting S-ON is going to be complicated regardless. It's much easier to just leave the phone S-OFF and with the latest stock ROM.
First, you need to flash a custom recovery so that you can downgrade your radio, then flash the unrevoked-forever-son tool.
Here is the PC36IMG file for the custom recovery
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/PC36IMG.zip
The radio that you will need to flash through the recovery is here

The unrevoked-forever-s-on tool can be found on this site (you might have it already)

You are going to be forever doing it that way, because now you will be S-OFF twice, once in the bootloader (from Revolutionary) and again under the nv radio (from unrevoked). Then you will have 2 of them to get rid of before you are S-ON, but getting S-ON is going to be complicated regardless. It's much easier to just leave the phone S-OFF and with the latest stock ROM.
First, you need to flash a custom recovery so that you can downgrade your radio, then flash the unrevoked-forever-son tool.
Here is the PC36IMG file for the custom recovery

The radio that you will need to flash through the recovery is here

The unrevoked-forever-s-on tool can be found on this site (you might have it already)

Unfortunately I don't think so, because I'm not sure if he'll have to flash files in recovery, but he'll still need to be rooted to finish the process, and I know its a round about thing.
I would just run a 4.54 ruu or flash a 4.54 stock pc36img and leave s-off and return the phone. Since you said "send" the phone, I doubt its even gonna matter. What r u returning it for?
Support TrevE !!
You really don't need to unroot, IMO. I still have yet to see one case where Sprint techs checked for s-off on a stock ROM.

He's already S-OFF, so he does not need to reroot. He needs the unrevoked-forever-son tool, since he seems to indicate in the title that he is unrooting unrevoked 3, which is only going to work on an older radio.
If he used revolutionary, then he needs Captain Throwback's PC36IMG file to turn S-ON. Either way, he doesn't need to reroot.
Regardless, it's much easier to just leave it S-OFF.

Look. The EVO is out dated. It's out of production. You send it back, it's gonna get thrown in with thousands of Evos sent in. Possibly refurbished, but most likely scrapped.
Asurion don't give a crap about s off hell they ship out refurbs still s-off don't evev bother locking em back up
