Unrevoked 3 Rooting Issues with my Droid Incredible

I am in desperate need of a solution...please help.
The company I work for uses Microsoft Exchange Server for our Email Service and before I rooted my Droid Incredible I was able to use the Exchange Activesync service on my phone to sync with my work's email without a problem.
Now that I rooted my phone I receive an error telling me I am unable to connect to the exchange server. I have already attempted to use "K-9 Email Client" and "Lockpicker" to see if I could connect. No luck... I believe the issue is with a missing certificate but I am not sure. I have already contacted my IT Department at my work which ended up being useless cause they are unaware of how to locate the certificate for our email service.
Anyways if anyone could shed some light on this please do...Thank you!
Also Facebook does not sync contacts, the live feed works fine.
I don't really mind this cause I'm using "FB Sync" to get my friends pictures but I do miss having all of Facebook contacts shown in my Contacts List.
Phone: HTC Incredible
Rom: ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1
Kernel: 2.6.29-Hydra-ocuv-ov-n-v07

unroot with the ruu (that should be somewhere close in the dev section)
and re root with unrevoked3. i have to say, ive tried all the roms except pmf yasr and red and blue, and ive never had all these wierd errors everyone had. my theory is that all the incredibles are made differently. some are more resistant to modding and rooting and others arent. but anyway, just ruu and apply unrevoked3. and be sure to backup contacts and data before ruu

not sure about the email thing, but for your contacts try ensuring that Facebook contacts are selected to show up by going to your contacts list and hitting Menu > View and make sure you have Facebook checked.

Ya I did that and although the option to show Facebook Contacts is available...the list is empty and says I have zero friends. Which is wrong I have over 300 Friends. So the issue has to be with the ROM.

Thread moved to General.

Guys I give up!!!
I've tried two ROMs the one provided by Unrevoked3 by default and JagerRomSense both had the same problem - No Exchange Service and No Facebook Account Sync. I've decided to go back to the Original setup and just wait till the Official Froyo OTA comes out for Verizon. Cause I can't stand having issues with my phone. If you have any comments let me know what you think...Thanks!

This is not a ROM, this is your new recovery which you probably flashed via the unrevoked tool. The unrevoked tool does not provide a ROM, all it does is root your phone and flash Clockwork mod recovery.
I have a feeling this was the start of your problems. You need to understand the differences between these types of things BEFORE you go and start modding your phone.

The company I work for is pretty picky about which phones can connect on their network and I managed to get the incredible up and running. As a hint, we recently purchased a smartphone company. Anyway when the purchase went through and they started letting execs carry the new phones, there were some ActiveSync changes that allowed exchange to work on just about anything that supported the required security policies.
Long story short, I’ve had a few times where i needed to delete the account and reactivate it because of sync problems. In order to do so, it seems like I have to turn lock picker off, setup the account, and then re-enable lock picker if I want that functionality. If you have this program installed, try disabling it, deleting your exchange account, re-adding your account, and then seeing what happens.
If by some strange chance you happen to work for the same company I hinted at above, shoot me a PM here and I’ll get you some instructions I found and essentially translated from the company we just acquired to the Incredible.
I have a phone by said company coming my way; they are expecting most of us to carry it at work. I wonder how hard it will be to switch back and forth…

[Q] Facebook app question

I am running Cyanogen RC and installed the "hacked" facebook app that allows for contact syncing. Everything has been working fine, no problems at all. I installed Tasker on Friday after the review on Lifehacker, but haven't really set anything up yet (just haven't had time to define a lot of tasks.) Since I installed it, I noticed that the "Older Posts" link in the News Feed doesn't get older posts like it used to - It looks like it's updating, but no older posts appear.
My job is high level software tech support, so I'm trying to go through all the typical troubleshooting steps in my head -
1) Is it the fault of the hacked FB app? But it worked when I installed it...I could go back to the Market version, but then I lose contact syncing.
2) Is it Tasker's fault? I don't see why that app would interact with FB, but it's odd that I started noticing it right after that install. I suppose I could uninstall Tasker and see, but I really want to start learning and using Tasker.
Any ideas out there?

Nobody???

[Q] com.htc.socialnetwork.facebook force close when listing facebook contacts

I'm getting this really annoying problem for the last few days after a rom update. Whenever I access the Facebook directory in People (online directories tab), a message popup:
The application Facebook for HTC sense (process com.htc.socialnetwork.facebook) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force close.
I've tried everything below but nothing works:
1. Remove Facebook account and add it again
2. Clear data and cache of the app
3. Try flashing another ROM
4. Unroot to original ROM
I think the problem is with my Facebook friend list but I can't figure it out. Has anyone experience the same problem as mine? I have around 400 friends in Facebook.
Update1: If I choose "View" in the Menu, the number of Facebook contacts is correct. Some of the facebook contact have been synched with photo, but still I cannot access the Facebook contact list.

No reply. I guess I'm on my own to solve this.

I did a google search and this came up I am having the same problem did you find a solution?

I am in. Just notice this problem too

I found removing the fb for android (?), and doing a full sync and link contacts help.
Really sure for the linking contacts step. Since i notice that fc happens everytime i use it to those with multiple contact (same phone,mail,etc) but not yet linked.
Occassionally, my phone will say something like find multiple contact bla bla bla. I just choose link em all. Now i rarely get fc

My problem is similar... HTC Evo 4G (original EVO), (being an admitted NOOB to the android arena), I rooted my phone... then had to unroot, and return to Sprint after falling out of the car window, and being run over by my back tire, (damned dogs, jumping up, happy to see me!). Sprint's techs said that if I didn't have the triple layer Seidio Extended case on it, it would have crushed the phone completely). As it was, my screen was broken, and I had to have the phone un-rooted to get the service.
Got the phone back ($37 for the repairs, Thanks Sprint!), and re-rooted her, and back in business... everything worked... until I couldn't find the root manager, I had used last time, so started using Root Explorer. I bit more advanced, and less noob friendly, if you ask me... as I was deleting bloatware, I deleted both Facebook AND Facebook for htc sense... I got the sense ver. back, and synce with my contacts by setting up the account again... only thing is, I can't upload pics. I could before, just can't now.
Only thing different I can recall doing this time, over last, was getting rid of Friend stream and a few other things I didn't last time (football, nascar, for example). Admittedly, I deleted things that didn't look like they belonged with any apps I was keeping. So, who out there knows what files may be associated with uploading photos to FB, via htc sense? I have the actual app, as old as it may be... was this one ever updated from 2010? I'm not looking forward to re-flashing the phone, just to restore one issue... but I will if I have to.
Thanks, in advance!
Mac-

You have a HTC EVO 4G. So please ask in the forum for this phone.

[Q] Preparing for 1st root and custom ROM. Need some clarification.

I’m getting ready to root my EVO and load it up with a fancy new custom ROM but before I do that I still have a couple of questions. I’ve found extensive information on how to back up the current data but most of it applies to a device that ALREADY HAS BEEN ROOTED. Is there a “How-to” guide that covers how to back up everything BEFORE the device is rooted? I'd prefer a method that has been testing and will allow me to recover if I need to.
So far, I’ve been able to back up some, but not all, of the applications using Astro Tools. Google contacts will sync with google and my phone contacts are on my Outlook. A side question: Is there a way to move phone contacts to google contacts?
I would also like to ensure that my “contact links”, SMSes, and call history are saved.
What happens to purchased applications? Will “Marketplace” still be able to ID my phone and allow me to re-download these applications?
I also want to ensure that my 4G “keys” are backed up.
My final question is with regard to ROM recommendation. I know, I know, everyone is different, etc. I would like a ROM that is:
1. Stable Froyo based with the latest fixes (no 30 fps limit, good audio streaming over BT)
2. Allows me to remove some of the useless Sprint Apps like NASCAR (I think I should be able to do this with all the ROMs once rooted)
3. Allows me to use a bluetooth keyboard (not sure which ROMs have this capability, I’ve only heard that Cyanogen might)
4. Allows the use of the forward, back, buttons on my bluetooth headset when playing media (same as #3)
5. It would be nice if it allowed me to force roaming. When I’m at work the Spring signal is really bad and it kills the battery very quickly.
Thanks in advance.

I didn't completely read your post, but I'll get in a quick reply to help a brother out. Root with Unrevoked 3.2 and use Titanium. There's no real need to back up before rooting because Unrevoked doesn't wipe your phone.
The Android Market backs up your purchased apps if you are signed into your Google account. Not sure about your Bluetooth questions.
The best Sense rom in my opinion is Fresh 3.3. I would check it out. Cyanogenmod 6 is by far the best rom without Sense, but no 4G.
Your contacts are synced with Google. You can back them up by exporting them to your SD. I'm using the AOSP contacts app, but I think it's the same for the Sense contacts app. Hitting menu should bring up the option.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm glad that the purchased apps are tied to the google account and I probably should have thought of that; LOL.
I've heard quite a bit about Fresh and I don't mind Sense at all so I think I'll give that ROM a whirl first, especially if it supports the bluetooth profiles I need. If not, then I guess it's Cyanogenmod for me. Detroit area currently doesn't have 4G so wouldn't be losing anything.
I tried backing up my contacts before but when I ran the restore I found that the "contact links" were either not backed up or not restored. I guess I should restore phone contacts from Outlook or else I'll end up with a ton of duplicates anyway. I probably will have to re-link all the contacts anyway.
Glad to hear that rooting won't corrupt the phone but I'd rather have as much backed up as possible just in case.

I'm not 100% sure on this, but Google should maintain your contact links. As long as Google has backed up your contacts (you can check at google.com/contacts), when you set up your Google account on a new rom, they'll be back, linked as they were before. Some more input would be nice, though, as I'm not completely sure.

[Q] Friend is freaking out...no idea what happened

So my friend has a Dinc and not so much knowledge of phones. i tell her about the awesomesauce of root and she tells me to take care of her phone. so i root it with revoked (not the forever one) and start tweaking. ok, tweaking done - LauncherPro, Swype, Handcent, SetCPU, autokiller, adfree, etc etc. all was fine for about 2-3 weeks until this morning she wakes up to swype/launcherpro/handcent force closing and all her contacts are gone...she said it reverted back to all old settings.
possible update from verizon?
i'm in CT and she's in NJ, so i can't exactly take a look at the phone. any ideas as to what could have happened? she WAS drunk as fck last night.

android market shows no apps in downloads. and unable to search for anything.......

First, it's kind of silly to customize a phone so heavily for a person who has no clue how to support it when you're too far away to support it.
Second, I hope you taught her how to nandroid because it sounds like she's going to need to restore. The only thing I can think of that would fix the issues would be to fix permissions and reboot the phone... I can't really think of any settings that would cause those issues.

crap. well agreed on the first part...second part i should have thought to make a backup when i finished...which i didn't. the few things i did didn't seem like much really.
i think something happened while drunk...which could be anything...but now i'm not sure what to have her do. she lost all her contacts so i guess it doesn't matter if i have to have her reflash some basic rom.

Did she lose the contacts from her Gmail account, or just from the phone? They will be restored if not lost from Gmail when she gets it back up and running.

there's really no such thing as "just a basic rom" nowadays. devs put a lot of effort and time and code into them, what you should do is some research and have her reinstall a STABLE rom . either way there should have been some sort of backup made, lol, otherwise id say you're a ****ty friend and has every right to be pissed at you lol. with that said have her try to get into recovery and restore a backup.

Thanks for the couple of ideas, but like I said, there is no backup to fall back on. The two things I missed while tweaking her phone was the initial backup and showing her how to restore. I'm not new to this, but not perfect.
Past those obvious mistakes, pointed out many times, right now a few things have changed. Astro no longer works either, and she can't reinstall anything because the market is blank. She did get some contacts back somehow. Is there a way to replace the market to fix it?
Sent from my FroyoEris using Tapatalk

You could have her try installing alternative markets like applanet...if it doesn't crash on the install or launch of the app...then she should be able to get the ball rolling on a resolution... might I add, applanet is just an example of an alt market... google alternative markets, you should easily find five or six different ones... if that fails... try apktor.....
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk

Have your friend RUU the phone. If they use Google services the contacts will be restored.

She doesn't use enough google services to get everything back...told her to usaa them for contacts at least.
Will a factory reset do the trick? She's prepared for the consequences.
Sent from my FroyoEris using Tapatalk

Did you load up Titanium backup for her? How about Backup Assistant?
In any event, a hard reset may fix the issues - just trying to help you save some of her data / contacts.

That only happens if the contacts are Google Contacts, not Phone Contacts. IIRC, all new contacts are Phone contacts by default.

On a more serious note, this sound very familiar to something I ran into while flashing a new ROM on vacation (Note to self, dont disturb a perfectly stable phone while 800 miles away from home!). Everything I tried to run seemed to FC and I couldn't get into the market or an alternative to download fresh copies of apps. I ended up reflashing the ROM, I dont remember if I tried a factory reset or not but ultimately it sounds like a wipe and clean install of a stable ROM is your best friend right now (unlike your current status with her lol).
