Tried it for our phone. I get a "your device not supported at this time" error message.

I didn't figure it would work. Thanks for the reply. Hopefully it ends up doing us some good.

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.

Don't waste your time buddy. Spoke with one of the alpharev devs. It's next on their list.

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

The Sensation doesn't have temp-root, which is needed to develop Alpharevx for the device.

Permanent root

It took 2 days for the devs to root the Thunderbolt, maybe less.

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.

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

Nope. Was just happy. As you said, you had the device for a while and it had a loophole. I hope you can root the inc2 as well. But we can guess this will be harder. That's why I was telling the others to be patient. Isn't it better if you are not pestered by people looking for ETAs?

Totally agree. However, at this point, I think the faith should be in someone over at HTC leaking the exploit.
If HTC knows of an exploit they would patch it, not leak it.

I think it is user preference at this point. If root is extremely important to you and you don't want to deal with the uncertainty of it ever happening, or in a timely manner, then maybe the Thunderbolt is for you. I am in love with this device's battery life. So I'm just going to wait it out and hope something comes along that'll help us get perm root and CM7 on this bad boy.

[Q] How Do I downgrade my software on my incredible 2

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
I don't think anyone is actually trying. I think people just think people are trying. No one has come.out and said "hey. I'm working on it"

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.

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!

Are there devs getting closer to root/unlock?

I don't want to sound impatient or anything because I'm not I love my htc one as is but am just curious if any devs are getting closer to a unlock or root without the s-off tool. I've seen that there is a large bounty right now so I feel there should be devs at least trying to figure out something but it seems like I'm not seeing much info. anywhere and am only seeing people using s-off cards and stuff and I can't send my phone off.

There are multiple posts scattered here and there that hint/speculate that an exploit has been found and the devs are waiting on 4.3.
If you don't want to wait then send your phone off for S-Off, but please don't rush the devs. The exploit will come when it comes.
Can we lock this yet?
Just hold on tight, it will be here soon!
There is an exploit floating around, but it needs work.

Exactly why bounties are a horrible idea IMHO. Donating for people's efforts is one thing, but bounties are almost always counterproductive unless someone already has an exploit that they don't want to burn.

Why? Not "burning" exploits is a damn good idea. What happens when, lets say, the exploit was released now and then HTC took an extra week to patch it? Like getting insurance or warranty replacements? Too bad we wasted the exploit. Look what happened with the DNA and 2.04. It is literally the best idea to wait until the OTA comes out. This way, the majority of users get s-off and HTC will have a harder time patching it.

My previous phone was the iPhone 4S and I never thought I would have to worry about exploits and etc ever again lol

Why? Not "burning" exploits is a damn good idea. What happens when, lets say, the exploit was released now and then HTC took an extra week to patch it? Like getting insurance or warranty replacements? Too bad we wasted the exploit. Look what happened with the DNA and 2.04. It is literally the best idea to wait until the OTA comes out. This way, the majority of users get s-off and HTC will have a harder time patching it.

i remember picking the dna up in april and it immediatly took the update for 2.04 then it took the 2.06 one. only a couple months went by and they came out with moonshine on linux then a window's version came out. i returned my phone back to stock to get 4g back and then i used the window's way. it is great to wait for the ota like you said so many more android's can get unlocked or s-off!!! :good:

I think you misunderstood me. I was just making the comparison from iOS to carrier locked Android.
I completely understand why and how this is all done, but thanks for explaining to those that don't

Welcome to VZW asshattery, it's amazing how the AT&T and TMo owners don't have to deal with this nonsense

Of course, but at least there is a ready unlock solution, hopefully the devs will figure out the VZW obstacle soon
