Root Help with rooting Incredible I with Unrevoked

Newbie
Okay, trying to root my Incredible I as per instructions on post #629 on a MAC: there are two problems I've encountered.

1. Step 4 states to plug phone into computer using charge mode, USB debugging mode checked. Where/how is USB debugging mode located at ? On the phone or on the computer ? (again, I'm on a MAC)

2. When I tried the following command, my list of devices does not show up. Also, when I do the pushing command, it is telling me no devices are found...

./adb devices ---> this didn't show any devices in Terminal

./adb push flash_image /data/local/
./adb push mtd0.img /sdcard/

** both commands in terminal gave me a "error: device not found" error message..

HELP ME !!
 
Noobie here. Trying to root my Incredible I with unrevoked on a MAC computer as per instrucstion here: http://androidforums.com/incredible...2-3-4-downgrade-get-s-off-13.html#post3623666

Anyway, I am on step #4 of the procedure. There are three issues I am encountering.

1. I don't know where/how to set the USB debugging mode. Is this on the phone or computer ?

2. When I perform the "./adb Devices" in terminal, there is no devices listed.

3. When I perform the "./adb push flash_image /data/local/
./adb push mtd0.img /sdcard/" command, I get a no devices found error.


Anybody can help me with rooting with unrevoked on a MAC computer ? Thanks.
 
I forget if it's different for sense, but on stock android,
the debugging option is under settings>applications>development. It should be a check mark.
That should help you.

help you with the mac specific code,but i can tell you that the USB debugging setting is on your phone: settings/applications/development

also,not having it on will not let your device be reconized by adb(at least in windows).

try checking the usb debugging setting and see if it all falls into place after that :)
 
One thing I got stuck on when I rooted my play incredible was that same place. I was in airplane mode. I took it out of airplane mode and it worked. Hope it helps you.
 
^^ I've double checked everything, I'm in USB debugging mode, not in airplane mode. Still permission denied.

$ su
su: permission denied

over and over again...

Is your device being listed when you do the adb devices command yet?
 
again,have you run unrevoked 3.22 and verified that you have clockwork recovery and the superuser app in your app drawer?

if so:
-try to use a few root only apps(titanium backup,root explorer,rom manager)
-clear data in settings/apps/manage apps/superuser
-check root apps again and see if they work now
then:
-when you run the commands,make sure your phone is awake and unlocked,as supoeruser will pop up and ask for permission. make sure "always" is checked,and then tap allow

My device is listed now. However, No I have NOT run unrevoked yet because I have not been able to complete the flashing steps yet. If you look at the tutorial, I am stuck at the step where I need to be at the ./adb shell prompt as stated below:



./adb shell your prompt should change to a #. if it changes to a $,then type su note your phone may pop up a message asking you to allow permissions the first time you do this (the first time I did this, I received a "Permission denied" message...I typed su again and got the # prompt). if it does check "always" and touch "allow" on the superuser request on the phone screen.

cd /data/local
chmod 0755 /data/local/flash_image

cd /data/local
./flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd0.img
NOTE: no changes to these commands because you're now in the phone!

you can now downgrade back to 2.2,so you can run "unrevoked forever" to regain s-off

exit to get back to $ prompt
exit to get back to the "platform tools" prompt


I am stuck at not being able to get into the ./adb shell with the #, instead Im stuck at the $ su, su:permission denied

You need to run unrevoked before that step, you can't flash that image without root access.

(step 2 in the directions)
 
just to add a little to what sdraw has said above,i think you may have been confused about the process. 2 different versions of unrevoked are run to do this: 3.22 is run first to get root access on GB so that you can make a backup and have root access for the downgrade steps. 3.32 is run after the downgrade to reroot and get s-off.

the big steps to downgrading,rooting and acheiving s-off are:
1)download the files
2)root with unrevoked 3.22
3)prepare to downgrade with adb
4)downgrade using adb to trick the s-on hboot
5)run unrevoked 3.32 on the downgraded software(froyo)

so if im understanding your posts correctly,you have done steps 1 and 3,and are attempting step 4 without having completed step 2. you just need to backtrack to step 2,and everything should work out for you :)
 
Trying to run unrevoked 3.22 on a MAC. When revoked is running, my phone reboots into HBOOT ? Anyway, it is showing the following error message:

SD Checking...

No Image!
Loading... [PB31DIAG.nbh]
No Image or wrong image!
Loading... [PB31IMG.zip]
No Image!
Loading... [PB31IMG.nbh]


My HBOOT info is as follows:

Incredible XC ship S-ON
H-BOOT 0.92.0000
Microp-0417
Radio-2.15.10.07.07
July 23, 2010 18:06:51



What did I do wrong ? Either I'm not very good at following directions or the directions are not very clear to newbies...
