Droid Incredible Android Dev

Let's root it!!

Yes please!

Any devs working on this phone?

Worried about that myself, but I love the phone. I don't particularly need the 4G because I'm pretty much always on WIFI and the T-Bolt, Charge, etc are just to large for my daily usage. The Inc 2 is a great little phone with a good battery. Lets just hope the dev scene picks up.

Yea, Let's hope get some good devs on this.. that they didn't all hop to the thunderbolt... :/

You guys are in the same boat the thunderbolt, desire S and incredible s are in (Except the thunderbolt has an older vulnerable radio).
If you can locate a RUU with a radio from ~ jan 7th or earlier, odds are in your favor.

Htc devices use nand/emmc write protection, preventing write access to much of the phone's internal memboery
On top of that the latest HTC phones (thunderbolt, inc2, inc3, desire s) released check for a signature on the recovery and kernel images, and throw the device into a "security warning" mode if the signatures are wrong or absent. If it is the recovery that is missing the signature, the phone will still boot but deny access to recovery. If it is the kernel, then the device won't boot.
Older HTC radios had a vulnerability that is exploitable (via scotty2's wpthis), to remove the write protection. Seems to be radios dating before January ~7th.
If such firmware exists and can be found, you guys can go the same route we did with the Thunderbolt, and replace the hboot with an ENG hboot, bypassing the signature checks.

if we can find it..and get a root ( i pray to the root GODs everynight for it )
ill pull out my dev jacket and get back into the mix for sure.
this device has to be my all time fave device..and ive been using HTC devices since way back in the AT&T HTC Tilt Days (2008 for those who are wondering )

[ThumbsDown] Now What???

Received my brand new Droid Incredible 2 today from Asurion. And as you might have guessed, 2.3.3 is present
I know that currently, the only way to root(s-off) is with the xtc clip. Has anyone heard about any progress on rooting these yet without the clip? Where the heck do you even get these clips? There's a ton on Ebay, but all seem different. If someone could link me to one, just so I know, I would appreciate it
Other than this, the phone seems pretty legit. Sure, it's not as "pretty" as the Inc 1 but hell, It runs very smoothly. I can't imagine what a custom rom will do to it. After becoming a flashhead(lol) with the OG Inc, I am ready to dig in to this one!

mine comes sometimes this week... im in the same boat as you.
i have no problem buying a cheap single use xtc clip off ebay.. but i dont like the idea of perm s off...

Yeah that sucks. I didn't like the idea of permanent root either. My HTC phones are prone to messing up and needing a replacement. I don't want 2.3.3 though even if i do get one. Honestly I would expect someone to try. Sooner or later people will only have GB on the inc2

Give it some time and GB will be rooted.

What version is your hboot? Far as I've heard it won't work on 2.3.3... Wonder if anyone has tried it? Sure am glad mine had 2.2
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk

Gingerbread has to be rooted first. the bootloader has not changed, so it does not need a new exploit. Once 2.3 is rooted, the alpharevx can then incorporate that method for s-off. Please correct me if I am wrong

Is there any way I can restore my apps that I backed up with Titanium, without having root access? If not, what should I do?

to answer your XTC clip question, you should be fine with the cheaper red PAYG clip. It's the same exact thing as the more expensive one, except its based on a credit system. you need to buy a credit for every phone you unlock, but it comes with one preloaded credit and if you're only unlocking one phone, then its not worth it to get the unlimited. I got mine from FoneFunShop, and it delivered in about a solid week

HTCDev.com is up!

I figure since it is a DEVELOPER center for HTC phones, it deserves to be in the Dev section! Anyway, OpenSense SDK, Kernel Source code, and unlock bootloaders soon to come!(hopefully for Inc2 as well...) Who is excited??

(EDIT) Please go to http://htcdev.com/contact and tell them to unlock all of the inc 2s that were "graced" with gingerbread...

Technically, yes. If you have an XTC clip or a Froyo phone (which are harder to get as every day goes by). So, in response to your statement I'd have to say yes, but not really.
From the way they've been explaining things it's going to be device specific, and our device hasn't been mentioned. It would be nice if all HTC devices were able to just be unlocked.

yea but you have to submit all this information.

I'd rather not root than give my information and have them monitor to see if I am tethering and what not.

Its would be a hard decision to choose free vs. private/unlimited (assuming that HTC releases it for Inc2...)

Just because you unlock your bootloader doesn't mean they are gonna be out there to see if you tether.

As long as Verizon doesn't extend their hand into this it may very well be a great thing.

Damn, I hope HTC will release the unlocked bootloader for Inc2, will save me $15! I'm wishing I didn't return my S-OFF'd Inc2 for a brand new Inc2 (other one was banged up badly). Anyone in LA/San Bernadino County want to meet up so I can S-OFF my phone? I'd be extremely great full, PM me if you're in either county!

HTC is asking us what we want from this site...
I would include the link, but cannot post a link yet... but goto htcdev.com/contact

Well they said the Evo3d and the Sensation, but I see a picture of the desire s, hopefully this will be for all HTC devices.

Something worth worrying about regarding the One X

Edit: its been reported that at&t is indeed blocking the unlock for their version of this device.
The release of the One X has us all very excited, and there is much reason to be excited. Yet, I feel like many people don't really understand some of the issues we may be up against. Let's take into account some recent HTC phones that came out. Let's look at the Vivid and Rezound. Both of these devices did not have the option to unlock the bootloader until months after. In fact, HTC was not even planning on talking about releasing the unlock until 6 months or later after initial release of the device. We started petitions, spammed the twitters and facebooks of AT&T/Verizon and HTC. It was amazing how each just blamed eachother for the locked bootloaders. Keep in mind this was AFTER the CEO of HTC promised no more locked bootloaders. Samsung does not ship locked bootloaders either. After a few months of begging and pleading, we eventually got official HTC dev unlock. But by that time, most the devs and community were gone.
We had a few teams working very hard on cracking the Vivid/Rezound but to no avail. Apparently HTC upped their game compared to past devices, and to this day we still don't even have unofficial bootloader unlock, s off, sim unlock, etc. On AT&T, the Vivid was one of the best spec'd devices, if not the best, out at the time. Yet, due to the actions of HTC/AT&T, the development was absolutely screwed. At this point in time we have only three or four devs with ROMs, no doubt we would have had tons more if not for the locked bootloader issues.
We need to talk with HTC before the release of this device to make sure the One X doesn't get screwed as bad as the Vivid did. You guys don't know how much it sucks to wait months and months to even put a custom ROM on your phone. We need to hold HTC to their promise. Sure, we can rely on unofficial methods, but then there's always that "what if" factor if nothing happens there.
EDIT: Willyami found this, I'm happy to hear temp-root is already achieved. Yet the article still states we need bootloader unlock or S OFF for perm root...

The One X is already rooted by Modaco. So I do believe this wont be such a problem to One X.

i think people need to enjoy the phone a bit more, than thinking about custom roms and such. That's certainly not why im buying the phone, nor is it in the discussion. Maybe months or a year i would be open to it, but right now i can see myself enjoying it stock. Especially with ICS on board.

Yea it's your choice, but the phone isn't even out yet. I just don't understand buying a phone because of what rom you could possibly get on it. Just my opinion.

Unfortunately, that is only temp root. It is not a permanent root solution. This link is the exact method described in the article and its from this forums dev section.

A HUGE factor that goes into what phone I buy is how big the potential is for development. I think that's a pretty common thing to look for for most XDA'ers.

HTC have already released the source code to the Sensation ICS kernel, and it's not even properly rolled out yet. Doesn't seem laggy to me

Calm down dude!
HTC learned the hard lesson of Sensation/sgs2.
They losed 3 months of potential buyers (and that made the whole difference in sales volume) because they locked the bootloader.
sgs2 won because it was unlocked and rooted easily.
The HTC One X is already rooted thanks to Modaco, so no need to worry at all, also Mike did a custom rom already,there are many Sensation devs switching to One X...

Another pro argument might be that this will be a real flagship device. As we all know, htc released much too many phones in 2011 (close to 50 I heard in an xda-tv episode ) and they realized the problems that come with such an approach.
The vivid or the rezound might just have been skipped by most devs, some of the better are even still on the 2 year old HD2.
I really hope that this will be the next HD2, it's got all the potential to be the next best phone ever.

I believe that HTC are changing and learning. If you see the communications between them and XDA over the last year, if you see the HTCDev site, if you see the list of ICS updates, if you see the API's they are releasing, etc.
If you look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCXgL7MDsIc Jeff clearly says it will be unlocked.
Also I agree with their reasoning for locking the boot loader, and as long as they release the unlock tool I think its a good process to ensure only those who know and accept the consequences will use it.
PS. Also the HTC One X is not tied to a partner so it should give HTC full control of what they do with it. Were as the HTC One XL is tied to AT&T so it may mean for that device its more complicated a process to get AT&T to agree to unlock the boot loader.

The "One" series must have been made for something, didn't they say they are trying to make their phones more recognisable too? In that case, it makes perfect sense to not release 50 phones a year (or one every week), as that really tarnishes the brand

i've never unlocked a phone on htcdev, but it has a generic unlock option.
you have to submit an identifier token you can query with fastboot, and you are getting a unlock binary sent by email which you can flash with fastboot to unlock the phone. if the hboot of the phone supports this.
seems very generic to me, and i guess you can already unlock a htc-one device using this method

Edit: Ops! I am wrong... please see later posts! Sorry blubbers!

[Q]Cyanogenmod for HTC One X?

Hi all.
Wondering if anyone is considering devving for CM on the HTC One X?
It looks as though the Asus Transformer Prime (Tegra 3) has nightlies http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=tf201&type=nightly
so there is some hope, in terms of CPU support.
I think HTC are a little less sluggish in releasing source too these days? Which bodes well.
Please use the poll to show support, would be interested to know how people feel about CM on the One X, personally I really hope it happens!

Well it looks as though people want a ROM, any devs care to volunteer?

I will be glad if that ROM will rise !

HOX without cm would be very disappointing....

Anyone have any news on the likelihood of a CM9 build for the HTC One X?

Think we just have to wait and see how popular the phone is first :-(
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

The phone will be popular, no question.
It's not a matter of if there is a CM9 build - just when.
M.

CM developers have one rule... one rule only... don't ask for ETA, you aren't asking that but they never seem to reply to us asking if a certain phone will be supported... Anyway seeing as the One X is a flagship device it will definitely be getting sometime... but for now i don't give a ****e about ROM's, i only care about the phone getting Revolutionary boot unlocker and root

I'd love CM on the phone. Came to it from an SGS II, and I really miss CM9.

I have test a long time CM7 on my SGS 2.
I was very surprise before that i don't know how look stock android.
CM is fast but have some problem with my carradio using my SGS 2 with USB.
Sense working good with it i hope a CM9 on Hox would not have the same problem.

Is anyone working on it?

Ive already started working on CM9 for the One S. However, HTC is slow with releasing the kernel source, making the job much much harder. If we are lucky, HTC will get around and help us out, if not, it might take a while before things are working.

Well, thank you very much. Now that I know I won't stuck with a stock rom, I might just take advantage of TMO's upgrade offer.

Again, we are dependant on the kernel source and even then the imageSense.chip drivers probably won't be released. There's some useful stuff on CodeAurora for it though so with time I'm sure we will figure it out

Why? We can flash both custom kernels and roms with s-on (as long as it's unlocked through htcdev, ofc), right? Then why would we need s-off? Sure, it would be really nice to have, but it's not needed to get CM on our device.
Correct me if Im wrong.
