is this post development related at all? as in is this a rom/mod/kernel/think tank post? no
read through the other threads and posts before making another super awesome thread like this
jmaddox31,
1.) Your post doesn't belong here in the development section. It doesn't really belong anywhere on the site as it has no value.
2.) We're waiting for you to root the device and post procedures on how to do it. You aren't done yet? It only took 2 days for the Thunderbolt. You are pretty lazy for not having it rooted yet.
3.) We are not your trained monkeys and you are not paying anyone (I just checked my Paypal). So go back and quietly sit in the corner.
PS: Mr Clown, could you close & trash this thread, please?
this phone will most likely never be rooted... by software anyhow.. might have to return it for a tbolt.
Why wont it be rooted??

1) we had the thunderbolt for months before the release, we were familiar with it when it was released.
2) We perm rooted it on release day, s-off on day 2.
Thunderbolt was a similar situation, however because we were able to locate firmware vulnerable to scotty2's wpthis exploit, we we able to downgrade, then replace the bootloader.
We don't have this option on inc2, yet.
I have a inc2 eng hboot, and once a way to write it is found, we will have s-off root.

Hey man appreciate all your doing and when root happens it will be awesome. But on a positive note this device has the best battery life since my og Droid. It kills my tbolt in the battery department. Again thanks man.

So that basically means a different exploit must be found then. One that exploits the code that is actually loaded.

Was intending to attempt some binary hackery but it looks like the binaries are obfuscated. It seems like at this point trying to hide hacks from the manufacturers would be pointless, so I don't really understand why obfuscation would be desired.
I'll jack with it later.

I hope so this would be amazing. just hope they can crack the code!
The software can't be that much different. I don't really know how their hack works so I can't say if they are trying to crack it still or just need some testing.
seems like raskal is having a hard time considering the htc sensation has had support fir a while now and just cmae out.. i just want root i dont care how
It's just a matter of time before Alpharevx saves us. But the real question is... what do I do with this xtc clip? lol

All that does is get you S-OFF. Doesn't give you root. You still have to flash a ROM to get root.

But I read somewhere that root was possible on 2.3 stock!!!
So how far do you guys think we are away from stock GB root without the clip? I just got mine, and have a chance to get it refunded if I want to. It took so long to get here, I feel that S-OFF will be accomplished without it any day now. Opinions?

Just got done trying that, it's a no go.
I'm debating what to do as well. I just got the phone yesterday, and I don't know if I should get the xtc clip or what. I upgraded early so Verizon wouldn't let me get a 4G phone for some reason.
Is there anyone out there that can help me take my inc2 and downgrade to the stock software so I can root it?

No, not yet. Once you get the Ginerbread update you are out of luck and must wait for a new rootable exploit to be discovered. Both the AlphaRev team and the Unrevoked team as well as others are actively working on trying to find new exploits.
The other choice is to find someone that has a XTC Clip diagnostic device that can be used to gain S-OFF on your device which will then allow you to install a custom recovery and custom rooted ROMs.
There is a number of threads on this. There is no way, as of now, to downgrade. The only way to get root, if you have 2.3.3, is to buy an XTC clip.
Edit..... I type too slow

If you visit the Revolutionary site, there are a number of links to some of the developers that are working on GB root exploits. With a little investigation into Twitter land, you will see that they are working on several HTC devices. One of the exploits will work on the Desire S, so it is only a matter of time before they figure out how to make it work on the Incredible S/Dinc2, too.

Sent from my rooted GB ADR6350
That is only for those with S-OFF via AlpharevX to downgrade back to Froyo and the stock boot loader. You need to be S-OFF and, correct me if i'm wrong, will still be S-OFF after the downgrade. It will not work if you're S-ON with GB, unfortunately.

Yes, that's how I got my clip. That's why I'm S-OFF'd and running newtoroot's bad ass sense 3.0 rom.
has anyone heard anything on root for the new OTA update? just curious, havnt seen any info mentioning anything. does alpharev have twitter or anything that they use to discuss current projects/status?
It is still very new, probably won't have root for this version for a few weeks. Of course, I could be wrong, I'm just taking a shot in the dark. For 2.3.3 it took a few months.
Just have some patience and it will be rootable before you know it.
Petes One Click?
Unfortunately the only way at this point to root 2.3.4 INC2's is using the XTC clip. I can't say for sure if they are even working on rooting 2.3.4 because who knows we may be upgraded to 3.0 and are waiting for that. but like I said the only thing I can say for sure is the XTC clip.

This isn't true. I just got my phone a few weeks ago and it came with 2.3.4
I followed the instructions here. This was my first smartphone/rooting experience. It went flawlessly. So if I can do it, you should be able to as well (assuming you are mildly tech oriented).
No clips needed, just need to downgrade hboot to .97
Good luck

honestly for S-OFF testing from two HTC phones I was a tester for.. (HTC Rezound (included use of a paperclip..., and the HTC Inc4gLTE)
your MUST be willing to brick your phone and it's your fault. not theirs..
best bet is if we get a team interested, we get a community phone bought using bounty thread and they have a phone to work off of.

This is still a good offer to any dev eager to build in which they either didn't get a chance to unlock or bricked theirs during testing. Of course not a large user base at this point but once a dev always a dev and they will get the itch!
