My buddy coming over from the evo is a rom building machine, and we are going to start this week on a sense rom. How do I help him by getting logcats? Is there an app or a program for me to do so? Fyi these roms are going to be sick

Yeah install adb then open a terminal or command window and type adb logcat then hit enter

Easiest way to get adb is probably going to google's android dev page, they have a basic sdk download package there.

I am looking for a walkthrough on downgrading my Incredible 2 using a Mac. I don't have a Windows or Linux machine available to me, and I need to downgrade to root. Can anyone help?

Linux method should work.

Could you further explain? I have been trying to downgrade for hours now and can't seem to figure it out.

With Linux/MAC...you should be able to skip the HTC drivers part and jump straight to the adb part.

You should be able to open a Terminal window on your Mac and follow the instructions for Linux, entering the Linux commands into the Terminal window.
It's likely that you'll need to run the commands as a SU (Super User) or Root in the Terminal window. There are some helpful tutorials online if you're not an experienced Linux/Terminal user.
Thanks for the help guys, but I'm still having issues. For some reason even when I execute the adb commands as a root user, I still get a permission denied error. I'll paste in the code lines below, but I'm not sure why this doesn't work. Thanks!
Code lines:
sudo adb shell rm -r /data/local/tmp/*
adb: permission denied
Hello guys,
I have a little question. Is it possible to install a custom rom with terminal commands, maybe with adb or fastboot, via fastboot or in recovery?
Thanks for your help

For example rom manager do it with android commands? Or how to do rom manager this?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using XDA
Try
fastboot update whatever.zip
I'm not responsible if you brick your phone or anything like that
Sent from my Wildfire S using XDA
This method is not possible, bc you need the img files and the android-info.txt, so not really what i want to do
But thanks for answer!
Is there a way to retrieve the past few terminal commands? Then we can try replicate what rom manager did.

In the sdcard/clockworkmod folder there is a report.log file. Check it out.
Sent from my Wildfire S using XDA
run this
Code:
adb shell recovery --update_package=/sdcard/name_of_downloaded_zip.zip
where /sdcard/name_of_downloaded_zip.zip is the location and name of the rom you wish to use
ADB or Fastboot will never work. I can't explain why ATM. Technical stuff. Maybe there is a file that has its part in booting into recovery.

Hey guys,
Im trying to root my phone using this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874801
but when I run the root tool I get the "ADB is out of date. Killing"
Ive tried installing countless random drivers which claim to be ADB and im fairly certain they were but they all seem to have been old ones.
Can someone upload the new ones for me?
Thanks!
Hi,
I had same problem because flashtool was open. Close flashtool if it's open when you root.
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
It was actually open but even after I closed it, it didnt root!
Sorry for you.
I flash 4.0.3 kernel on 4.0.4 rom, I close flashtool, start the phone, I open doomlord and root the phone. After, I put 4.0.4 kernel with flashtool and restart phone for install CWM.
I had the same problem a month ago... just restart adb... use task manager and end adb.exe process

It wasnt actually that but something similar.
Droid Explorer was running in the background which apparently was also using ADB. Once I closed that it worked.
stil cant pul the jdk,
Pulled it from the site though, terminal says it was installed but when i wanna execute sdk manager in terminal(sdk unpacked) it gives me errors that there is no java installed.
do i need to put the jdk in the sdk root?.
For anyone who reads this and think ?ftw?.....yes im a linux noob and trying to learn so any help is welcome
I really wanna learn learn learn
Many thanks from holland

Hi, I have a Desire Z that keeps restarting itself almost. I can go as far as opening the app drawer before it restarts again. I'm trying to figure out how to fix it or at least recover/backup files from the phone. Can anyone help?
if I flash a custom recovery/root my phone, will that wipe everything on the phone? I am mainly concerned with backing up all my data. The stock recovery shows phone with red triangle, dont know what that means. Please help.
Try starting in safe mode

If i remember correctly you can do this by holding down the S button while booting the device.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
Tried booting in safe mode, still the same thing. The phone reboots as soon as the launcher is done loading. I think its an issue with either the launcher or there's a conflict in android/sense which is causing a crash. Still trying out different things.
Edit:
Since I have never recieved OTA update for this phone, I believe I'm still on RUU_Vision_BellMobility_WWE_1.34.666.1_Radio_12.28 b.60.140e_26.03.02.18_M2. I have adb set up, is there a way to confirm I can safely S-OFF/root?
Edit 2:
Did a factory reset - no changes, still rebooting
Edit 3:
Seems like USB debug is not turned on my phone, I tried my gt-i900 and can see it using adb devices but not when i plug in my Desire Z
Edit 4:
While in stock recovery, I have a phone with a red triangle, and adb shows device as offline. At least I can confirm that adb is working with my DZ. Now to figure out how to push files to it
After the factory reset you won't get any of your data back, but you need an os so you can root. Find the latest ruu for your phone and fllash it through fastboot or bootllader as a pc10img

Can I flash the ruu from an external sd because I cannot copy to the internal memory as the phone doesn't stay on long enough. Thanks
Nope, but you can use fastboot

is fastboot the same as adb? for example, when using gfree do i just replace adb push with fastboot push?
Edit: Nvm, figured it out, now I need to find the proper RUU for my phone, which one should i be using?
Edit: Stupid question above, I already mentioned which ruu i was using so I'll try to flash that. brb
Nope, adb is similar to fastboot but different, read my thread on it as if you own any HTC phones (and various others) its a must to learn. You'll find it here in the general section
You will use fastboot not to root but to flash the latest ruu as you need to have adb access and this means you'll need an os that's working.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
This is the command you will run in cmd or terminal but read up on my thread to understand more

I read your thread, very helpful. I had one question though, do i need an oem ruu to run the command fastboot oem rebootRUU? I'm just confused as to whether I need to root first, flash the hboot, or flash the ruu. I also have the stock recovery so when do i flash the cwmr?
1st you need the ruu, I believe nipqer has most on his server found in one of his threads. You will use fastboot to flash this. This will rewrite all your firmware and software and hopefully produce a functional os so you can get adb access
Once this is done, follow the xda wiki to root your phonephone

Finally! Phone boots up and I have adb access. Followed the instructions (ran into some trouble with chmod command returning "Operation not permitted" - had to start all over again with fastboot flash oemRUU) and now I'm rooted. Time to install some custom roms. Thanks demkantor, your fastboot tip and thread got me through this!
I'm glad you're up and running! I suggest to check out my is this a brick thread as it may help know what to look for if you run into trouble in the future
Either way, happy flashing!
