Quick question to the OP. Have you modified this to work with the A2? If not we've been down this road already and there will be consequences if you try to perform a recovery from a backup with this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329701
We have asked developer nitroglycerin33 to make us our own bootstrap that works and here is the link

Installed no problems, went right into cwm!!!!

Man I'm just trying to save you some work. Please take a look at the links I posted and we have our own bootstrap listed in the second link that was modified specifically for the A2
Take a look in the bootloader unlock post that will catch you up on where we are right now. Not trying to discourage you as we can use all the help we can get.
Glad to have you here and knowing you are willing to lend a hand I just don't wanna see some noobs using this thinking everything is working and end up bricking their phones because right now we have NO way of getting back to stock with a FXZ yet.

i'm with you i'm going to edit my post.

They're dated cause we're at a stand still for right now until we can get the bootloader unlocked and a working FXZ. Please read them and you will understand.

Guys as JRW 28 has said.
This has been tried and done with fatal issues. Until nytroglcerin33 gets the official CWM package updated, there is not much I would try with this, we have done backups and restores, as well as attempted a flash or two with NO SUCCESS.
I am not trying to be a pain here, but there are some of us who have been working on these things for almost two months since this phone came out, try a search in the Atrix2 section next time as there is a thread already about this, and until we get the bootloader unlocked we are going to have very limited abilities on this phone to develop, if you want to help out someplace go jump in there.

No worries, that was not aimed at anyone, it was more in genral, so that anyone who reads this sees that this is a very slippery slope right now, we have had at least 2 people that we know of, who bricked their phones using the / a similar method that was in the OP here.

I wouldn't say I have had no success... I'm able to backup and restore system and data using that atrix 2 recovery. In fact, the bionic one worked as well but I only used it a couple of times.
I've been using it to go back and forth between 55.11.16 and 55.13.16, 8 or 9 flashes so far without a brick.
inb4 next flash bricks my phone

I think we should have our moderator swoop in and sticky the important things. It seems were not getting much love from him around here. It's kind of an annoyance to me that topics fall back a page or two then are reintroduced as a new thread a week later. Just saying.

FYI, that's the "old" method that does NOT have S-OFF and you CANNOT load a custom recovery.
What is posted in the OP is apparently new and just done late last night. It allows S-OFF and loading of custom recoveries. That's different than what is posted in your link.
Not really sure what is happening at the moment....

Ha ha. No worries, everyone is excited about this. Just trying to keep people from getting confused!
What we know:
1) Originally, on March 18, they had a "dirty" perm-root method that required loading an old version of the software. This gave root, but no S-OFF and no way to load a custom recovery. There are instructions posted for this method.
2) Late last night, they managed to find a "new" root method and gives S-OFF and allows loading a custom recovery. This news is posted in the link in the OP of this thread. At this time, they have not yet posted the method for doing this. I expect we'll see it later today when they wake up. LOL
So patience guys and gals, we'll have FULL root, S-OFF, and custom recovery of our TBs very soon!

Anything that is faster than the ****ing root time on the Incredible is fine by me. That was a painful thing to wait for.
I have been following the developement on the andirc channel. these guys are amazing! As long as HTC's software policies remain what they are today, I will no longer be purchasing moto phones. I had to suffer through the DX's bootloader fiasco after coming from the OG D1. DX devs made it bearable, but custom kernals...no. Thanks for all the work jcase and company!
I'm a relative newb as far as hacking and even I got root + S-OFF + unlocked eMMC + Clockwork, etc working as per the rooting instructions updated today on AndroidPolice. It has been done and these guys and gals are that much more amazing for it.
The only question is: how the hell do you select an option in Clockwork recovery? On my Droid I could use the camera button, but here the Power, Home, and Menu button all just hide the menu. Vol keys only scroll. /confused
I haven't actually rooted mine yet as I'm a wuss and waiting for a one-click, but I read tonight that Kousch (sp?) already made an updated CWM to fix that issue on the TB. Maybe try updating via ROM Manager?

I'm right there with you, I rooted my D1 back before any of the oneclick solutions existed using the Motorola flashing software. I extremely tempted to try installing abd on my Linux machine and give it a shot but I'm a little scared too having never used adb before. And it seems that there's still. A few bugs to work out so I will let them get those straight. I'm hoping too one click root by Tuesday and ROM by months end. Hopefully on CM7.x
Also hi everyone! Been lurking here since I picked up the thunderbolt Thursday morning. Can't wait to crack this thing open. SenseUI is driving me nuts.
Rooted and removed bloat from my TB! I love it!
Hello Board Members. I just signed up today as I picked up my TB yesterday. I'm a former iPhone user (since 2009) and then went to Verizon for a Droid X. This new phone came out, so we dropped the X and went for the TB. Just my short intro to the Android world.
Anywho, for those that rooted the TB, was it a painless process? And the instructions posted on the AndroidPolice post (saw it in Google), do I run all of this from the TB or on the computer?

Things I have learned with this update.
1) You MUST be 100% stock, with root before attempting the update, and even then, just wait and do the rooting after the ICS update.
the reason is because the update even checks the sum for the logcat program, which we use to hijack boot for the CWM recovery. I was completely stock 2.3.6 with bootstrap CWM on boot and root, and it would still not update.
2) Use RSDlite for the stock restore, as any scripts tend to do something funny when restoring boot, the ONLY way I got the update to take was to use RSDlite. I tried my scripts and I also tried a few others and it still did not work.
3) As has already been reported, cheesecake does not work on ICS, so you are pretty much stuck here.
4) Do not try to download the update and flash with CWM! Sorry but it will not work, it must be done with the stock recovery.
I am sure there is more, and time comes I will add to this.
Does it have any special features? Anything different from the usual, don't know if you could write a changelog. Sorry if it's too much.

This is the RAZR bootstrap... and just because it boots doesn't mean its working...The current bootstrap we have boots under ICS but isn't fully functional. This is your second time posting a fix with out doing any research. If a newbie spotted this thread, they might install it thinking it works and viola they have a bricked phone. So please unless you REALLY know how to fix things and have dev experience please don't post every possible fix that MIGHT work.

It's not you or your work. It's the fact that there have been a lot of hard bricks and we need to be extra careful about releasing anything for the ics leak. It needs to be tested by more than one person. It might work for you but not someone else. We are all being cautious, that's all.

I locked to stop with the arguments but I will leave the links. As always if you brick your device its no ones fault except your own. We all choose to mod our phones with the risks it posses. If he says it work I'm not inclined to say it doesn't. But devices vary by build and region so to everyone be careful.

What I need to know?

Ok, so basically I may, probably, hopefully, get a One X either tomorrow or on the weekend. If it does happen, once I have the phone, all I need to do is use the one-click root method to root my phone and then unlock the bootloader via the link provided on the same one-click root thread and I'll be ready to flash Roms? Also, how different is flashing a Rom n using Recovery on the One X from the Evo 4G? I'm coming from an E4G... Thanks in advance.!
basic answer
As far as I know, the process that you need to do is the same from what we all did.
-root your phone
-unlock bootloader
-install twrp recovery (the only recovery officially proven to work on our phones)
-flash roms!
-flash other stuff that you want (must be compatible with your rom
Other than that, you are good to go. You could not have gotten a one x on a better time. The kernel source was just released last night, and we are all in for a lot of awesomeness moving forward.

Yup you are correct the ota will give you 2.20 but the original root method for the 1.73 did not require you to search for an update to get root. It was much easier on 1.73. 1.85 broke that exploit and now 2.20 broke the 1.85 exploit

Accidentally deleted data folder

Hello,
Couldn't find any solution in the forum.
My friend accidentally deleted data folder on sd card on his HTC Incredible. Now his phone is not going to boot at all. Are there easy ways to resolve this?
I have a little experience in rooting, flashing roms on my Desire Z. But feeling a bit scary to perform this with another phone.
Would appreciate any help.
UPDATE : I asked him again, now I'm not sure what exactly he has deleted. He is far from IT person, and unlikely that he has rooted phone or made something like that, that is why I guessed that he just deleted something from sd card. Let me try to explain behaviour of the phone:
When the phone is starting to boot, it at first shows htc screen, then screens on the pictures, then phone just freezes.
Holding Volume Down button with Power button allows to see menu, but then trying to boot recovery or just boot makes same thing as above, Trying to make Factory reset just freezes phone on the menu window.
ANY GUESS WHAT IT MIGHT BE? OR WHAT IS THE BEST THING I CAN DO?
UPD2: My friend deleted some apps (processes with names starting com...) from All applications menu in Settings in HTC Sense.

If he has a recent Nandroid backup then he can just flash that and let it rebuild what it needs to. Otherwise you can S-Off and root his phone, then install a custom or stock ROM as you like.
You will find more help in the HTC Incredible or HTC Incredible S forums, depending on exactly what model phone your friend has.
I think deleting any folder on sd card never cause this type of serious problem...
Unless and unless you screw in system files or boot files of your device this happens..
And as we all know that all these critical files stored in device memory so deleting anything on memory card never do this..
Just inquire him he must screwed up something in root directory of device..
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.
maybe your friend deletes data folder in which is in the internal storage.
maybo you can access you phone after a full wipe.
My suggestion is to restore with a NANDROID or flash a ROM.

Just full wipe! The data partition doesn't affect the rom, because rom is in system partition. The only problems are mismatches of data. Full wipe to assure the system "knows about your forced data wipe".

just updated the post
Thanks for reply to everyone!
I've updated the post. You can find more details now. I cannot perform anything because I cannot boot anything.
Hope you can help, will wait for your kind replies before making any radical steps.
In that case, I would recommend flashing your kernel anew.
If it doesn't help, you could try to flash a stock firmware. If this didn't help, I would probably visit a repair shop.
Hope it helped, best of luck

Actually, this happened to me once before. Reflashing kernel worked for me: it restored my recovery.

As I wrote I cannot boot into recovery.
Can I flash kernel or rom using my laptop if the phone is not going to boot into recovery mode?
Repair shop is asking too much. I want to know could I do it by myself, with your help, of course.

Now that clarified it all. Of course you can flash it anew... Even in the worst situation your phone could be in, you can always flash kernels and firmwares!!!
Assuming the rooting process is same or simillar to Desire HD u could use hack ace tool to downgrade to stock rom, root and install cwm recovery.
After that you can flash any custom rom.
You can find a third party site link in this thread (marvin02's post):

In what way? or what link?

Thanks, Gantar.
But, your post would be a little more informative and useful if you you could explain how can I do that or give a link to this .

Excuse me? Did you check my post?
I just gave you a link to the thread and which user posted the link in that thread "to this".
Just go there, follow ALL,the instructions and you'll be flashing a fresh custom rom in no time.
EDIT: Ok since you seem not to have read my post, here's the direct link as posted by marvin02 in the thread:
Look here
Link found on attn1's twitter.
Upper link get's you directly to a guide and tool site. From then on,please read and follow all procedures step by step.
You need to clarify the model. Is it Incredible or Incredible S?
In case of Incredible S, look here:http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f475/medusa-box-flasher-v1-0-6-more-htc-via-usb-added-1469331/ Try in both cases, there's nothing you can lose!
You probably know this, but anyway...http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-incredible-faq/42039-how-hard-reset-htc-droid-incredible.html
Hope I helped you. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you

Note: In fact, you don't need the debugging on. You need flash drivers instead! Kernels may be flashed even if you don't have debugging on! I write from experience
