REVOLUTIONARY [unrevoked/alpharev] - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

I am aware that they have acheived S-Off for a large amount of devices.
Will this process work for DI2 running OTA Gingerbread? Or are we unaware of what it is for at the moment?
Thank you.

Just tried on my moms with GB OTA and still fails to get root so it wont work yet

So, this question has been asked and answered a dozen times in these forums, and questions do not belong in the dev section.

People. Need. To. Do research before asking questions. Literally seconds after it was announced on twitter I downloaded and tried it out and posted that it did NOT work for GB posted my results here and droidforums.

So has there been any success in using the exploit used for the evo 3d temp root on our phone?

Why can't EVO. Get rooted?

Why is the newest EVO. So hard to root than other android phones? I had 3.3 and now upgraded to 3.7. Unrevoked doesn't work for it yet. Why is that?

It's a process to find a security hole to achieve root.
That being said, weren't you rooted previously?
That's what you get for not paying attention. Don't ever run an RUU. And this doesn't belong in the development section But I guess that's another symptom of not paying attention

Google is your friend, my friend.
If you have a new Evo you need to use an alternative method to root your phone!! The old methods and UNREVOKED will brick your phone. Here is what you need to know first.
I'm sure there are instructions here at xda to achieve the same thing but I'm not going to search it out for you. This is the method we used for a co-worker's Evo v.003
I never rooted before. And yes I do know that unrevoked worked for the older EVO and not the newer. I was just wondering what would be the cause for it being so difficult to do since other phones seem to get it solved more quickly. But thank you for your responce.

Thanks for being an ass. I ask a simple question based on what I have read, haven't tried to root because of what I read, and get talked to like a kid. I have been a member here for several years and am brand new to android. Thanks for the welcome

HTC is getting better at blocking our rooting methods. That and the update only came out a few days ago, it takes time.

Short answer - Stock, unrooted, s-on EVO GB cannot be rooted yet.

Yes, the XDA app does have a search feature. When you are on the main forum page, (not in a thread) hit the "More" button near the top right of the screen.

OTA GB isn't rootable yet. If you want GB and a root, you'd need a new ROM. There are ROMs with Sense if you like the stock ROM.
I think that there is a version of the GB stock ROM that is rooted somewhere on XDA.

Download the RUU, you could just Google it. I think its worth it since I have no need for root yet. I'm sure root will come my way eventually anyway.

Yeah I had some problems when I rooted my original Incredible and then when I decided I didn't want it rooted I had troubles everytime I had an official Verizon OTA update. I decided with this phone I have no intention of rooting it at all, to avoid problems like that.
...though i would love to delete the tremendous amounts of crapware that came with this phone.

If your already rooted can you install the RUU?
Works for me on my rooted HTC Droid Incredible 2.
Skype with video works on my DInc2 with 2.3.3 non root. I downloaded the DIncS version from xda and it works awesome.
Go to settings/applications/manage/all/, go to the white skype, clear the data.
Uninstall the blue skype if you have it.
install this skype here (http://www.mediafire.com/?c86p48w1ei0zaco) and enjoy your video calling.
Edit:Fixed Download Link.

[Q] Root for Android 2.3.3

How long do you think it will take for a ROOT to come out for the Android 2.3.3?
Between now and the end of time.
We don't know and asking for etas won't get you anywhere.

(sike!)
i am patiently waiting. I miss my old evo rooted. I was actually given a brand new evo that had 2.2 on it and the ota showed up and without thinking i updated. So mad about that.
Thanks, I'll be patient.
I understand this is hard work and you guys are doing it all for love (or for something other than money), so I'm not going to add my voice to the chorus asking when the root solution for 2.3.3 will be ready--even though I'm a-yearning and a-craving to upgrade and re-root my phone. I'll just say thanks for now to all you geniuses for making these phones so much better!
Hope it's soon because I'm ready I just got my evo 4g yesterday and tried to superoneclick root and z4root and it didn't work.. Never thought to check and see if 2.3 can root. Damn
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
the more people ask, the less likely it will be done!
And if you had searched, you would have seen this has already been asked!
I bet root will be available when you stop making new accounts just to make the same thread asking the same question over and over again.
If anything, the devs are probably getting tired of the obnoxious kids in the Evo forums badgering them. Instead of trying harder, I'd give up if I were in their shoes.
Believe it or not, there are worst things than not being able to root your phone.

Who knows how to create a root method for gb incredible
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Dude, if it existed there wouldn't be new threads asking. The Unrevoked team would be the ones coming out with it, assuming they will root the Inc 2.3.
Bottom line, the OTA has been taken, root added, and flashable zip has been made in the Development forums. It's the same exact thing, so if you're unrooted and S-ON you're out of luck. Period. No flashing back, no flashing recovery, no root as of now. You're stuck on stock 2.3.

I'm sure they're already aware of GB being out, its just up to them if they want to try to get root access.
Sent from my Droid Incredible running some random CM7 nightly.
Correct, they are under no obligation to provide root access, it is merely up to them if they want to pursue it. I know that they've teamed up with AlphaRev to work on root and S-OFF for the newer phones coming out.
I don't know what to tell you as far as contacting them. They do have a website, so try that. Otherwise, anyone who accepted the 2.3 OTA with S-ON is out of luck.

I hope not. One would think that if he rooted, he would know about Unrevoked. Chances are, if he could root, he'd be here then asking if his phone's bricked.
MODS, this thread should be closed in my opinion.

I completely agree and also with Loonatik. If this guy doesn't have a language barrier then he is a complete idiot. And his tone from all his post make him sound very impatient kind of as if here were doing us a favor.
If I've helped you, hit the thanks button!
I don't see it happening...it would involve the unrevoked crew to have an s-on unrooted incredible with
GB and unless someone donated,pulled some insurance trick(no bueno) or there was a dev out there with said inc(chances are most if not all don't or don't care) the chances are slim to none
