Droid Incredible CM6?

Ive been trying for about a week to get CM6 on my incredible. And i see some of the people on this forum have it. Ive contacted developers and users alike but for some reason I'm having trouble. After Root, I downloaded and installed Rom Manager but I'm unsure what to do next. I tried to flash Clockworkmod with the app, but when I boot up into recovery, I dont see The Clockwork menu, or the Nandroid backup option. I dont want to Flash the rom without being able to make a backup or install custom Update.zip files. Does anyone have any suggestions???PLEASE PM me for any suggestions!!!!!!!!!!!

If you aren't seeing the clockwork recovery, then you didn't run the reflash tool after you rooted. Run the reflash tool and it will load the custom recovery correctly.

what reflash tool?

unrEVOked 3, should be a link to it in this forum

I tried to run that but it keeps getting stuck. I might have to manually move files.

Chances are if the unrEVOked tool isn't working, you may not have the right drivers installed. Check their wiki to make sure you do. Also, to get the nightly CM6 builds (when they resume, which will likely be shortly) you do have to buy the ROM manager premium license from the Market (which I recommend you do anyways as it goes to Koush who is the one responsible for developing CM6 for the DInc).
Here's the link to the wiki concerning the driver:

Wow is this all I really nerd to do ? I already bought Rom manager, but clockwork isn't working. I guys updating the drivers will let me get clock work ? Do u run a custom Rom? Thanks!!!

why stuck on modaco??

hello all, i recently installed clockwork3.0 to try out the cm7 rom and did so. afer that i wanted to go back to cm6 but decided to try out a custom baked modaco in between. I went no problems to the modaco vision rom and then tried to go back to the cm6 and thats where i ran into the problem. It seems as if though all i can flash and boot now is the modaco vision and desire roms. i try enomther and cm and after the flash and reboot im always stuck at the HTC boot screen which i know shouldnt be there and cant format boot in cwork3.0 without failure error. Even a nandroid back to cm6 wont work. Im assuming this has something to do with the modaco rom writing some apps to /system during install. If anyone can point out my error or explain why this could happen it would be greatly appreciated. Thanke, veritasaequita

You need to flash back to the old ClockworkMod Recovery using fastboot? You have done that haven't you? CWM Recovery 3 is only for 2.3 roms atm afaik.

Cool, thanks for the input bro. Yes I sure have. I did see in the dev forum a thread titled install cw3.0 easily from phone. Is it possible to go back to the old cw by way of using the phone also? Once again thanks for your help

oh yeah, indeed you have hit upon something. Try installing ROM manager via the Market,... then use that to re-install the old recovery.
But if that fails,... then yes, you SHOULD be able to use a Terminal Emulator to flash without using fastboot commands.

[Help] Did I Brick My Mytouch4g?

MODS: I am unsure of where to post this so sorry for the trouble.
So I work for Tmobile and love showing off my rooted mytouch 4g in all its glory.
So I requested a warranty exchange and got a TAIWAN VERSION w/ GOOD SCREEN in return. Like Day and Night.
Upon Receiving my warranty exchange phone it was 2.2.1. I attempted the same Visionary Root Process, (however was there some extra file i needed to DL? i forget)
After rooting my new phone, S-Off, I had flashed FAUX stock kernel 0.4.0b.
THEN THIS HAPPENS:
I cant get past the mytouch 4g splash screen. The first logo that appears. It gets stuck or bootloops. I can HBOOT and get into recovery 3.0.0.5
This is all i can do...i already asked for another warranty exchange...but in the meanwhile..how can i fix this problem or what did i do wrong?
ALSO can you backup one mytouch 4g and load it back up on another mytouch 4g with the same sd card? Thanks!

I had this problem with my MT4G when I flashed his kernal. It seems that his kernals are not designed to work with every 4g device. I hope you did a nandroid backup on the device. I was never able to get past the mytouch splash screen with his kernals

Well, at since you can get into recovery there should be a number of things you can do to get your phone to boot.

Download a new ROM to flash, if you are on clockwork 3 then you need CM7.
Clockwork has usb drive ability, turn it on, transfer the ROM then flash.

If you can get into HBoot or Recovery on ANY phone, you're safe. Hell, if you can't get into HBoot, your phone wouldn't even start up since HBoot is basically the equivalent to BIOS.

THE VERSION OF CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY YOU USE IS CRITICAL!!!
The version you are using is for Android 2.3 only.
Flash a v2 Recovery with adb or fastboot and reinstall your kernel, or install CM7.

If you've ever connected it via USB, it should have installed the drivers automatically (at least on Windows). I think the ADB driver only installs if you had "USB Debugging" checked. Mass Storage usually only refers to mounting the SD card; the driver for ADB is different. Look for something like Android Phone or Android ADB Interface in your device manager (again assuming Windows).
If you have ADB set up, try running the adb devices command. If it spits back the serial number of your phone, you should be okay to proceed.

Don't exchange the phone, fix it...
Just use another phone to copy the latest CM7 to the root of your sdcard and flash, if that doesn't work do the same thing with a PD15IMG.zip file to the root of your sdcard, hboot and restore to stock.
I have no problem with someone doing a warranty exchange for a hardware issue, but if you break your phone, don't make someone else pay for it...

i ended up solving the problem by doing what some of you had suggested. I flashed CM7 and WAH-LaH! when the phone got past the splash screen into CM7 i was on cloud 9.
Now What are the benefits of running CM7? as opposed to going back to Sense w/ Faux kernel again?
PLUS
how would i go back to a sense type rom again? would i go back into rom manager and flash a different recovery?
XDA you have been so helpful!
___bonus__also the haptic feedback on this phone was not as strong as my original..though idk if its just me or not..should i call tmobile and stop shipment of the OTHER phone? how is it i have a taiwan version plum W/ good screen?

There are no Sense-based Gingerbread (Android 2.3) ROMs available now ... Best practice its to make a Nandroid backup of CM7 with your installed CWM Recovery, then flash a version 2.x of CWM Recovery to install any Froyo (Android 2.2) based ROM.

Good to see it is working.
Its mostly personal preference at this point. Sense on the MT4G is pretty responsive and has some nice features. CM7 has its own tweaks and features. You loose the sense widgets but many can be replaced with alternatives in the market. You gain and loose relative in both ROMs So try out both and decide.
Use ROM Manager app to flash a new recovery. One of the 2. versions, then flash a froyo based ROM.

what about flashing kernels..are those "roms"
is cm7 itself pretty battery efficient? i still downloaded setcpu and set it to 11---.
2.XXX ..u mean like 2.5.1.4 for example..sorry not lookin at the phone atm.
++bonus
i also dl the cynogyn updater or wut not..wut url do i add for themes?

Kernels are not ROMs, the kernel is the underlying software of an OS. The kernel talks to the hardware and lets different parts of the OS communicate. Kernels are ROM specific, or Framework specific. A sense ROM can not use a AOSP kernel and vice versa.
CM ROMs can be good on battery, or not. It all depends on personal use and how you set it up.
That is a good recovery to use when flashing sense ROMs.
Not sure about the updater. If it is the one I am thinking, it hasn't been updated in a while. I think it has been abandoned in favor of ROM Manager. CM updater did come in some of his older ROMs, before ROM manager became the norm.

So I can or cannot flash fauxs kernel. I really liked the smartass profile. Also..I'm on cm 7 now...y do I get force closes on my market.

As people have already said, you used the wrong version of clockwork, also, use clockwork to flash a new rom. And make sure you use the right version.

Try fix permissions. If that does not work, do a full wipe (factory reset). If that still does not work, try re-flashing the ROM.
If you flashed a new kernel before you started having issues, this may fix it, or you may need to wipe caches and re-flash the kernel.

[Q] overclocking question

Can we keep the shipped rom and add the kernels for overclocking once achieving s-off?
I have been flashing phones for a long time.. way back to original windows mobile and switched to blackberry for the last couple of years.
I am back to HTC(happily) and have rooted the phone, but I would prefer to stay shipped rom for now until I can research some of these roms out there.
BUT I WANT TO OVERCLOCK!!!!

Yes that's what I've done. You'll need to have full radio S=OFF and you'll need to flash the engineering bootloader, but once you have that done you can flash kernels that say they are made to work with rooted stock roms.
A good example is the faux123 kernels, which are usually updated every day. Unless something's changed though, on stock, you can't flash the .zip file in recovery, you'll have to manually flash the zImage in Fastboot and then push the Broadcom module to the phone in ADB to fix your Wifi.

i tried this and it put me in an endless boot loop.... good thing for dumb people at car toys to replace the phone... not sure what happened but it was not good and I could not do a recovery

You can flash an oc kernel to the stock rom. Look on page 14 of the stock smartass kernel thread by faux. I was having the same boot loop problem, but followed vinsane's advice and it worked. Sound like you need to flash a recovery and make a nandroid backup first though. You'll be able to flash from recovery.

Yup. Easy to do. Just follow the steps outlined.
I'm usually flashing 1-2 kernels a day....depending on release and going back and fourth for comparison.

Help with custom rom flash

Hey guys, I'm probably going to sound like a noob but I need some help with flashing a custom rom to my atrix. I've been trying for a couple of days now with no success. When I first got my atrix it was on 1.8.3. Upon trying to flash any roms I got stuck in a constant bootloop. So i figured I'd flash to newer firmware anyway. So I flash to 2.3.4. I follow the briefmobile instructions on rooting my atrix and the root appears successful. I then install tenfars cwm. Now back when i was on 1.8.3 I had unlocked the BL. but now upon my flash to 2.3.4 I notice that my unlocked symbol has gone away. Do i need to redo it? Anyways then I boot into recovery and have tried flashing aura or alien many times. It always says success, reboots and I reappear to my normal screen with normal kernel and all. The only difference is the extra apps in those rom's are installed. Thanks for any advice. I would love to flash a rom but not having my phone the way I want for the past couple of days is really making me tired of even bothering.

1) use romracers CWM
2) if you want the alien rom to look like the alien picture, you need to install the additional theme
3) pretty sure alien uses stock kernel
4) it doesn't hurt to re-do the pudding unlock
