HetalDP 947 Report post Posted June 10, 2010 Follow me on this Topic http://www.google.co...of-EVO-and-Hero PLEASE DONT try it now ........................................ wait for some more time ADB recovery hack This hack, if executed successfully, should allow you to deploy an unsigned update.zip to a device running a current (Android 2.1+) version of recovery. This hack is for power users only right now, and is not as simple as unrevoked is. We are working on expanding the race window. Launching ADB in recovery Currently, we don't know how it happens, but sometimes ADB starts while the system is booting in recovery. (We believe it to be a race condition at present.) On the host, run adb shell in a loop.On Linux, syntax will be something like while true; do adb shell; done[*]Repeatedly reboot your device into recovery mode (if it comes up normally, adb reboot recovery). If the shell repeatedly says error: device not found when in recovery mode, press vol-up and power at the same time, then reboot and try again. If the shell repeatedly says - exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -, then ADB is running in recovery mode; congratulations. I just got ADB running in recovery mode! Now what? Read through all the steps first first. It's not long, but there are some timing-sensitive parts. Download http://www.unrevoked.com/incredible/busybox adb push it to your SD card: adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox Download the following two files:http://www.unrevoked.com/incredible/payload-update.zip http://www.unrevoked.com/incredible/ota.zip Keep these two files in the folder you'll be working with. [*]Press volume-up and power at the same time A menu should appear. Select update.zip by pressing power.It should fail.[*]On the host, run adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip[*]On the host, prepare at your command prompt but do not press enter: adb push payload-update.zip /sdcard/update.zip[*]Select update.zip at the menu again by pressing power. Approximately half a second after it starts, press enter to run the second command! If the timing was right, it should verify the legitimate update, but update with our hack, printing a message like “unrEVOked for Incredible”. Congratulations! Post-hack tasks Some things you may wish to do: If CityID bothers you:you@host$ adb shell$ /system/bin/su# /system/bin/rm /system/app/CityID.apkAll gone! Once you have rebooted the system, you will probably want to install the Superuser Permissions apk.

topgnat 17 Report post Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) Has anyone on RimWeb got root going on Incredible? Following is question to all the senior members Please, Someone clarify because going through all the posts on xda and androidforum, I find there are people who are finding only certain root apps working and asking for Superuser permissions while rest not working. So it is possible that this has something to do with the way we push Superuser and give path/permissions in the system. As per the post about how to get permanent root after reboot steps are: adb shell su /system/bin/cat /system/bin/sh > /system/bin/su /system/bin/chmod 4777 /system/bin/su Once at root (#) prompt in adb recovery export PATH=$PATH:/system/bin cd /system/app cat /sdcard/Superuser.apk > Superuser.apk cd /system/bin cat /sdcard/su > su ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su chmod 06755 su But the original unrevoked teams updated method gives different method for permissions and superuser; Original Unrevoked Root Guide * On the host, run adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk * On the host, run adb shell to bring up a shell on the device. o In the device shell, type su to become root. o In the device shell, run /system/bin/toolbox dd if=/sdcard/Superuser.apk of=/system/app/Superuser.apk o In the device shell, run /system/bin/chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk * Congratulations! You now have a barebones rooted Incredible. Look in the post-hack tasks below for other things you might want to do before you reboot.
