any problem with our low resolution?
It's way too big taking up almost the whole screen, so layout needs to be adjusted.
It's certainly too big at times, but I'm quite happy with it as it's now.
Thanks for the useful information.
When I try to flash It, it say: Installation aborted
What I wrong??
The easiest way is to install it manually with adb.
what about latest gingerbread maps with 3d view ?
can we have it on this device ?
i know we don't care at all about multi-touch, so what about a google earth way to turn the maps in 3d space ? can tattoo handle it ?
Not really sure. They said they're going to update maps soon. We'll have to wait and see.

Just uncompress the zip file in your computer. It'll extract quite a few things, but we only want the two files in the "system" folder.
First, remount the system partition on your phone as read-write (adb remount), then adb push the apk to /system/app to your device, then the lib to /system/lib on your device.
Not sure about the exact names of the files, but it should be something like:
adb push system/app/LatinIME.apk /system/app
adb push system/lib/libwhatever.so /system/lib
That should do it. You might want to make a backup of the old files, in case things go wrong.
Any one out there that can help me understand the last part of Adb.
lol.
I learned how to use Odin and superoneclick.
Now I am on Adb.
I read all I can on Team Whiskeys and XDA website and other googled websites. I installed everything and did the My computer/system properties/advance/Enviroment Variables/Path entries.
I start ADB and then I do in command prompt "adb devices" and whoopie I see my phone.
NOW WHAT?
No body on the instructions or website that I have read goes past that.
How do I push down a Rom to overwrite the system with the new Rom I want to try?
Hope someone out in the Forum has really done this before and will post how they do it.
Need to find someone smart enough to finish the instructions.
Thanks,

with adb you can copy files to your sd card or system without ever having to mount your sd card to your phone. that's the main thing I use it for
for instance, I have a rom named Trigger_281.zip on my desktop, to push it I would do
Code:
adb push Trigger_281.zip /sdcard/Trigger_281.zip
you can also pull files by using "adb pull <location of file on phone>"
and so on.
Furthermore if you ever need shell access you can do "adb shell" and run unix commands from console instead of on the phone

Thanks for showing me how to push to my phone. Now do I install it. In recovery mode as a zip? I thought adv installed it and I just rebooted and it was installed.

It just moves the file to the phone. You have to flash the file yourself if it is a flashable.
You can push a .jpg file if you want, it doesn't matter, it only moves it.
And I think you're getting confused with the 'adb install' command. You can install NON-system APKs by doing that.
Code:
adb install someprogram.apk

I guess I was confused on what ADB could do.
I thought it could push down a Rom and install it onto the phone.
Then I would disconnect it and reboot the phone and I would have the newer rom installed.
I didn't know that it only pushed the ROM onto the sdcard and then I would install the zip from the phone itself.
Finally I got an answer to my question.
LOL.
I have tried on the team whiskey site to and no one answered it. Also all the stuff I read on it really didn't tell me that either.
I really appreciate your answer in helping me understand it.
I am also using Trigger 2.8 like you. But you said you had Trigger2.8.1 saved??
I have only seen Trigger 2.8 today.
^ birgertime is the developer of Trigger. He is already cooking something new in the kitchen.

Duhhh... I missed that... LOL. I am brain fried!!! I have installed Odin, SuperOneClick, and ADM. I have be learning all three but was having trouble with understanding what ADB could do. Been reading lots and lots about it all day. Whew. I am tired. Ever instruction got down to connecting and seeing your phone and then it would end there. Finally I got an answer from Birgertime. Thanks.
I have 4 different roms saved to my phone to switch between if I want too. But I love Trigger 2.8 with Overclock v2. Also I am seeing 9 sats out of 11 on my gps. With Overclock v2 and using CPUBoostPro I am right at 2000 with Quadrant.
I keep getting this error when I am trying to start the first command in terminal
Jays-Mac-Prolatform-tools experience$ ./adb push psneuter /data/local/
cannot stat 'psneuter': No such file or directory
I have all of the files downloaded. the file on my memory card. I have been trying this for a few nights now and I can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated! Coming from my incredible with CM7 Nightlies to a non rooted thunderbolt for 2 weeks now is killing me!

I posted a pretty comprehensive walkthrough in the development section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011623
I recommend you look through there first. now, what you've done wrong: The files don't go in your sd card, they need to be put in the platform tools folder.
Post in my thread if you have anymore trouble, or if it helps you.
I would post there but I dont have 10 posts yet.
I don't have all of the files on my memory card only the one where you change it to p5000 or whatever it's called the problem I'm having is when inam doing this
Now, navigate to your home folder and there is a text file there for you. Pretty neat, eh?
Now, we need to navigate to adb. Go to your android-sdk-mac_x86 folder, open it. Now, go back to terminal, type cd and drag the folder Platform-tools to the terminal window. You should see a green dot with a plus sign in it, that means you can add the folder to the terminal window. It should read something like this:
Code:
cd /Users/Your Computer's Name/Downloads/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools
If you moved the android-sdk-mac_x86 folder (Like I did) after downloading it, it will only be slightly different. (My folder was in my home folder, so it just says /users/my computer/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools)
Once you do this, you are ready to begin
Once I Follow these directions above I am getting thus error
Jays-Mac-Proplatform-tools experience$ ./adb push psneuter /data/local/
cannot stat 'psneuter': No such file or directory
I am at a loss. Please help!
bump. Need some help figuring this out. Been reading the the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1011623 and I still can't figure this out. Any help would be appreciative

Just to confirm, psneuter, busybox and misc.img go into your platform tools folder, not your sd card. You aren't actually pushing anything, and you're receiving that error because there is nothing to push. Now, if you put the files from the exploit folder into your platform tools folder, it will work.
Good luck man I hope you get it to work...It was my first time with rooting a phone and I didnt think it was too hard except for the time it took to get it all done
the error msg you are getting is because the files you are trying to push are not in the directory you think they are.

That did it! I am officially rooted and i am making my first back up with clockwork. Thanks so much!
I love the forums on xda! I finally have a rooted thunderbolt. Now to decide what rom to load! Hopefully cm7 comes out for the Thunderbolt soon. Loved that on my incredible.
I find myself in the same boat, terminal replies "no such directory"
q: I know that the OP's directions explicitly say to download Android SCK...revision 3 <-- has this changed to just the platform tools?
the reason I ask, I have all the files dl and in the folders that sidek1ck says to, but CANT complete Step 5. Setup terminal for ADB. I open up terminal, type the letters "cd", drag and drop the "platform tools" folder to no avail..."no such directory exists"
I simply CANNOT find where I am going wrong here
Please guide me, as this guide seems to work seemingly flawless for everyone else
I have an S-OFF HTC Incredible S 4G running 2.3.3 trying to get it rooted, I am trying to keep up but so use to stupid iPhone modding/themeing so just lost on how to send or use my SD card for ROMS? Can I just use the old word (shsh) files over to my phone while its plugged in its the Fdisk and do I put the files into 'root', I have installed Superuser app/ROM Manager app onto my phone also have Gingerbreak.v.120apk on my desktop plus Superuser.apk am I lost or what and anyone willing to help but go easy on me?
Thanks, TheCrow
Do you have ClockworkMod Recovery installed?
I have ROM Manager installed off the Market but my question is probably the one that I'm can't get the answer for which is, how do I transfer things onto my SD card cuz I have played a lot with my old iPhone 4 with mods/themes and so on but never had to write to my SD card atleast I don't think I did thats why I ask if its as easy as dragging and dropping files over to my phone while its plugged into my computer as 'use as driver'? I can't even get the CWM to work properly because it says something about 'special privillages', I have S-OFF but just want to get rooted so I can move on to the fun . Do I need something set on my phone or installed to get going, I also put Superuser & Astro on my phone from the Market so can if you have the time just give me a few dumby steps to point me in the right direction and I am over at the Android Newzealand site which is awesome but they get most files from here and only one guy is trying to help

I am all about trying to get things done in the easiest way possible to help the people that are new to Android.
This method has worked for me but there is no guarentee that it will work for you and I am no way responsible for anything that happens to your device.
DO THE ROOTING PROCESS AT YOUR OWN RISK
Procedure to Root HTC Incredible S
1. Install the ADB on your computer, but before that you will have to turn on the USB debugging in your incredible S which can be turned ON by pressing the “Menu” key first then “Settings” > “Applications” > “Development”. Now here you will find an option of “USB debugging”, select the option and just accept the warning which it will pop up. It’s very important to put the device in the USB debugging and also important to go through the ADB setup process without which it’s not advised to proceed.
2. Now you will have to download the Rooting package which you will have to unzip the same and need to place in the location path c:\adb after which you will have to connect the phone to the computer.
3. Now, open the command prompt and key in the “cmd” and then you will have to make use of the change directory command so that the directory in which you have placed the rooting file can be accessed.
4. Next type in the “pushroot” and enter the same, basically this will push in the pushroot.bat file.
After this type in adb shell /data/local/tmp/getroot and after that type in adb shell and press enter.
After typing in the above commands, you will now be prompted as # after which you will have to type in /data/local/tmp/pushroot.
That’s it you have now successfully rooted the HTC Incredible S

Try reflashing CWM Recovery. Since you have S-OFF, it should work. If you get it to work, then flash (install zip from SD in CWM) the attached file and you should be rooted.

I appreciate the one above yours and kinda understand it but waaay too indepth maybe, I also tried yours but when I go to HBoot menu and Recovery to look for the .zip file it is no where and I plugged my device into computer and 'debugging Enabled' also set my connection as 'disk drive' to load the file to my SD card but still can't find it?? I can't believe it is this hard cuz I see many others rooted and flying away on their Incredible S 4G, I was able to get the Gingerbreak.v.1.20apk on my device but it just keeps loading and saying that it will reboot once successful but after 20-30mins I figured it was not going to work also I have ROM Manager installed already but as you know no Superuser previlliages yet so can't load CWM

Have you tried searching for the zip when your device is NOT connected to your pc? And just so you know, you do NOT need superuser privileges (root) to be able to use ClockworkMod especially since you already have S-OFF. Have you tried flashing a different version of ClockworkMod? You could try using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638 to flash it from your PC.

I'll try finding it without being plugged in to pc, I put Gingerbreak.v.1.20apk on my SD card no issues so I shouldn't have an issue putting the CWM on but do you have a newer version (sorry) also do you think one of my issues is that I have a CWM on my 'Astro' file finder but the files say they don't exist so should I delete it and start over with a newer one that you may have and should I take of ROM Manager until I finish putting these files in cuz it should not be this hard others are rooted on their Incredible S 4G 2.3.3.

You are not supposed to open the image. Download Android Flasher, connect your device to your pc, run Android Flasher, select recovery (at the side), find the image file you downloaded, select it, click ok (and again if necessary), and it'll do the rest.
Question, I drag and drop files over to my phone while plugged in to my SD card but everyone says to the root folder I just don't have a 'root' folder so one guy said to drop the files into the very first one and that is what I did with Gingerbreak.v1.20apk but it just says its rooting and will reboot device when done? After 3 attempts each at 15-25mins the wheel is still spinning so am I putting it in the right spot, Gingerbreak does show up in my apps drawer but the unzipped versions of CWM or Superuser never show up on my device even when I go to 'recovery' through Revolutionary to unzip it?

Did you read/understand my previous post?
Kinda but how does that have anything to do with rooting my Incredible S (sorry) its just that I'm new to HTC devices and I've been told that I have to be rooted to put ROM themes on my device and I have S-OFF, thats not enough is it? I tried the guy above yous method of ADB but my computer does not 'recognize that path', I did exactly what his video says but again is either of these methods going to get me 'rooted cuz all I want to do is start enjoying my phone plus your saying I don't have to have 'Superuser Permissions' to use CWM?? Sorry bro if I'm being difficult but I just want to be rooted already and have you heard of this angermod or what ever its called, like Gingerbreak or something?
HELP PLEASE lol, thanks
Forget about Gingerbreak. The tool (and instructions) is to flash the custom recovery (ClockworkMod) to your device. I said this before, and I'll say it again, using ClockworkMod recovery DOES NOT require root. You are going to root your device by using Clockwork to flash the file attached in post #5. After flashing that file, your device will be rooted.
When I go to extract it they ask for a gehroot password, I copied what looks like a password under my Incredible S/Vivo but that one did not work for the CWM download
I will try this tomorrow 4 sure and thanks for your patients, fill you in when I'm rooted (hopefully) Also is there a special password to download the CWM for my Incredible S/Vivo, sorry again?
One more question (sorry) the one I did download the other day was supposed to be CWM but it has all kinds of other files with it like 13 files including 'SuperOneClick' also suv1/v2/v3 plus 'busybox' but don't see cwm anywhere so anyway do I use the 'Android Flasher' and flash all of them like the whole folder or each one individually?
In the CWM image file, there are like 13 files that came with it like suv1/v2/v3 plus busybox and SuperOneClick so which or all of these files do I flash with Android Flasher?

It is so simple to root the Rezound, there is no real need for an all in one tool just remember that it will wipe the phone...
1) Download the latest SuperSU.zip from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu and place it in the root of the SD Card
2) Unlock via HTCdev (instructions are all over the place, including at HTCdev.com) and verify booting and operation
3) Extract recovery.img from the latest TWRP package and place in adb directory
4) Boot into Hboot and then start Fastboot
5) Execute "fastboot boot recovery.img"
6) Install/Flash SuperSU.zip from Step #1
7) Reboot
Done... That's it, your rooted and no MainVer issues!
Although, I would keep it stock until it OTA's to the latest version... unless it is already 4.5.605.14, then you have to do it the way I mentioned, the all in one tool won't work due to Hboot being to new.
To add; you may want to install busybox as some root apps need it. Its simple as getting Stericson's BusyBox app and pressing install then rebooting.

No... On your computer you should have installed ADB (Android Debug Bridge), this is what gives you the adb.exe and fastboot.exe files to talk to the phone and perform operations from your PC... The directory that contains these files (usually .\adb\platform-tools\) is where you copy this file... These commands are done on your PC and the recovery.img is pushed to the phone.
There are tons of guides on this that are literally step by step, even Youtube videos, no offense, bur if you don't comprehend some of these steps you might want to do some more research before continuing.

OK, cool. If you need more assistance, fell free to ask.
Just for future reference... avoid the "one click" tools, especially on the Rez, they are mostly out of date. Plus knowing how to do it manually is usually quite useful.
