Just got my dinc2 today while I was at work. Got home and can't activate yet for some reason. Want to root my device can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks...
Look in the development section for the Alpharevx S-OFF thread. The tool is compatible with windows and Linux. Read up on it a bit and if you have any questions, feel free to ask here.

I'm very sorry for posting a question like this, as it's been answered already (I'm sure), I just can't find a more clear-cut answer.
I just got the HTC EVO 4G last night, delivered in the mail. It came pre-loaded with 2.2. I'm not sure if this is the OTA update or if it different, so I'm looking for the root guide for this particular build. There are a ton of walkthroughs out there, it seems, and each one has about 100 pages of replies attached to them. I've read each one, and I'm still not completely sure which one of the guides I should use to root my awesome new phone.
Thanks for the help in advance.. I am learning a ton on these forums and can't wait to start trying out roms.

i'm just making sure it's the right root for the particular hboot. I'm still learning what to do about ROMs. I had a Huawei Ascend for Cricket before this that I had successfully rooted, but there weren't any real ROMs out for it. So I used the root access to get rid of the bloatware and get Barnacle with busybox and superuser. That's pretty much the only experience I have.
I just want to make sure that I don't brick my brand new phone hehe.
Hey,
After the news that HTC ain't gonna update to gingerbread, I've made the decision to root my phone. But I'm really confused what to do. What method do I use? Can anyone give a link to the method they used and worked? I've searched the web and they all say different things :S
Ever seen the stickies on the development thread??

there is a video tutorial that takes you through the whole process

Haha I remember last year when I rooted my phone. I downgraded my hboot then my phoen wouldn't work then I realised that there was unrevoked, hahaha.
Just so we're clear lol obviously I have a Verizon HTC Incredible 2, Gingerbread (2.3.4) with HBOOT 0.98...
I'd like to get rid of all the bloatware, or freeze it, whatever needs to be done. I'm not a n00b but I am a bit of a rookie when it comes to Android devices specifically, I've never really dabbled in this department.
I was following: incredibleforum.com/forum/htc-incredible-2/9918-successful-rooting-incredible-2-finally.html
I figured out the ADB thing, so don't worry about that. I went to try doing the revolutionary s-off part before I could gain root access to my phone, but it told me my device was not supported, that's when I figured out I have hboot 0.98, pffffttt. I wonder if it's even possible to do at this point in time. I just can't seem to find what I'm looking for...
Could someone please point me in the right direction? What am I missing or not finding for myself? >_<
Check out the dinc2 development section. It seems as if you can do so via attn1 help.
I can't link from my tablet but its on the first development page.

A friend of mine has a wildfire S and is sick of the constant lack of memory messages so he's considering rooting his device. I'm looking for every tutorial you need to root the phone as well as how to "s-off" for one tutorial in the dev section that didn't have this, that's why I'm asking so I can get him started.
Can anyone help me out with this please? I'm assuming its not possible to follow the standard HTC Wildfire rooting guides.
Thanks,
Dave

Look at the general section, there is a index thread
Swyped from my desire s running damn sweet ice cream
I note that in most of them you need an XTC clip, is there an easy way around this? the ones that don't use it are CDMA models, without any more info on the phone in question I can't understand much more myself, so which method of rooting have you guys used?
Rooting tutorial is in a stick in this forum...
Yes you need an XTC-Clip to S-OFF the phone for permanent root.
GSM - XTC Clip
CDMW - Software S-Off
The end!!!
Sorry but you are just another spamer who does not wat to read...
Please stop opening such threads, first searcu for it...

Unfortunately not yet, if you got no cdma version (without Sim slot) you need an xtc-clip to gain s-off.
You can get one at e-bay or go to a second hand seller that also does repairs, I unlocked my gf wfs at one of those shops for €20, but I can't guaranty that all of them got one.

In what world am I just another spammer? I'm simply looking for some help on these forms on a phone I have no experience with before I go off and tell my mate to do something incorrectly. If it bothers you that much don't read the thread. As much as people like me bother people like Tectas, they still help even if it pisses them off which I thank them for.
Tectas, thanks for that, if you don't get the s-off can you still root the phone or what happens then? I recall not getting s-off on my sisters desire and managed to root it using superoneclick. The only thing was lots of ROMs wouldn't work.
Hey guys, I was wondering if it was at all possible to get help from a friendly developer here at XDA who has some free time to go ahead and walk me through what to do, either over skype, or take over my computer and S-Off my HTC Inspire 4g. If anybody could do that for me that would be very great and i'd be very greatful. I already have bootloader or whatever. I used the HTCDEV tool to do that. But, I don't know how to get S-Off, and with AAHK gone, I have no idea what to do.
Please help.
Thanks.

check general discussion or Q&A, there's plenty of hubub going on about this. After you've exhausted those options, you can always try starting your own thread IN Q&A.
