Can anyone please help me? I do not understand what I'm doing wrong. I am unable to achieve S off on my Incredile 2. I've tried 2 diffent computers, several different usb outlets, uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and all it keeps telling me is to go get some lemonade, lol. Fasyboot is turned of and usb debugging is on. So, I'm lost. If anyone has any ideas it would be appreiciated, thx
Are you on froyo or gingerbread? I believe the new revolutionary tool is for GB, so that will make a difference.
I'm on froyo, but followed a video to use revolutionary. It says it will not work with GB. the method that they were using, but did also see it being used for GB another way. Should I update the phone to GB 1st?

Art is right, you need to make sure you are using the correct tool/procedure depending upon what stock version (Froyo or Gingerbread) you are starting from. Good luck!
is AlpdaREV the only way to gain S off as of right now? I cannot update the phone since there is no service to it even with wifi. I'm trying to root it then flsh it to Cricket Mobile.
u can use the gingerbread official ruu and flash it with hboot to upgrade then run revolutionary. usually if you get the lemonade message you have gotten s off though

s-off is what you want, but i'll assume that's a typo o.o
if you're on froyo, use alpharevX, if you're on gingerbread, use revolutionary
sorry i meant S-on
Ok, so I was using revolutionary, but have found posts that alpharev x is no longer in use. I found the Zip, n tried it with no luck once again, please shoot me, lol. Since I generated a beta key prior using revolutionary it is not excepted in rev x. So, i guess I'm left with gingerbread ruu through HBOOT. Can anyone direct me were to find out how to do this? I am unsure which image to extract n if it is to go in the adb file or what. thx

So how far did Unrevoked get? You said it shows S Off in your bootloader? When I used unrevoked on my girl's phone, I got that error saying incompatible radio version, but everything else in the program ran fine, and it still said it was a triumph. It still installed clockwork recovery, and it was funtioning. So I flashed Unrevoked S Off tool, and all was fine. I then flashed Amon Ra recovery, and there have been 0 issues with her phone so far. I've flashed a couple different roms for her without issue. So did you experience something similar? Did Unrevoked install Clockwork recovery for you? What happens when you select recovery from the bootloader? And is your hboot indeed S off?
EDIT: If you do indeed want to update your radios, here is the link to calkulins radio page : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
You do need to have S off to flash a radio, and you would need a custom recovery. So if you have those two things, then you can flash your radios. You flash them like a ROM, from recovery. You will see a few different/unusual screens while they are flashing, don't freak out. It takes a while for them to flash sometimes too, so be patient while they are flashing, and dont pull the battery, that's how a brick is made. And be sure to have a substantial amount of battery prior. PM me if you have further questions.
There is a link in my thread that should help get you going. If you have S-OFF it is simple to flash a rooted ROM
If your phone shows s off then its rooted
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
When i do the Recovery, i get a black screen with the phone in the middle and a red Triangle Exclamation thing.. and it just stays there till i pull the battery.
Are you sure you have the latest Unrevoked 3.32? Make sure you download from here Unrevoked 3.32 I used that to root my Evo and I have the same radio as you and it worked flawlessly. What OS are you using Win7? Mac? XP? Vista? Unrevoked 3.32 should work. If you can't get it to work try this: Root the Evo. If you follow that guide you will have full root. I have used it several times and it has never failed me. Good luck my friend.
You don't have a custom recovery yet. When you boot into bootloader(press volume down and power) what is at the top of the screen?
Sorry I do not have the same radio as you. Mine is different so use the second link in my post to root your phone. It takes longer but is a sure fire way to get it rooted and get you to flashing custom Rom's. Plus it comes with AmonRA 2.2.1 recovery which is better than Clockwork in my opinion.

i just need to know how to update the radio, i have put the updated radio zip folder on the root of the card, but thats it, how do i flash it w/o already having root?
hello i bought incredible off Ebay saying stuck in power loop, figured it would be easy fix already having a incredible for a year or so but cannot make any progress.When you boot normally it goes to white incredible screen bootloops a few times and powers down. I can get into h-boot but no recovery s-on and nothing will flash properly. Any help would be much appreciated and sorry if i did not post in right section this is my first post...
When you say nothing will flash, what do you mean? Have you tried an RUU? If not, you can find both Froyo and Gingerbread RUU from here:
pvillecomp.com
sorry i was having trouble replying...yes i have tried ruu and it would load it to the side in h-boot screen and then go away...in meaning wouldnt ask me to hit up or down to install
Wait, it didn't prompt you to update? That either means the file was not on the root of your sd card in no folders OR it was not labeled: PB31IMG
it found the update but when it finished loading on right side of screen it didn't prompt me to install
i have tried everything i know to do but i know nothing about this phone what version its on or anything...i did unlock the bootloader but still couldnt get anywhere

So wait in order to unlock the bootloader you had to do an ruu exe right?
That is probably the issue, that you unlocked the bootloader with HTC dev. When doing so it updated your hboot version. Now older ruus will not work because it considers it a downgrade. What you need is a PB31IMG.zip of the exe ruu provided on the htc dev site when unlocking the bootloader. I do not know where to find one of these, but i will see if i can extract one from the exe for you. However im not sure it would work because running the ruu in the first place should have fixed the issue.

Ok try flashing this thru hboot, it is stock gingerbread ruu.
http://dinc.does-it.net/New_Hboot/StockGB/PB31IMG.zip
If it flashes see if the phone will boot.
Then try to flash this thru hboot even if the above one works or not. It is Clockwork Mod recovery 5.2.0.2.
http://dinc.does-it.net/New_Hboot/CWM_5.2.0.2/PB31IMG.zip
If it flashes see if you can enter recovery.
you are a lifesaver it let me flash clockwork...havnt tried anything else yet just got that done
well....itll go into clockwork stay about five seconds and bootloops to white incredible sceen
Change that went into clockwork once now when I hit recovery it goes to white incredible screen

I found the answers in Q&A. They, like for many others, just didn't help. I have deemed my issue to be hardware.
Unrooted device won't boot past splash with sd card inserted. Remove sd card and it's in a never ending bootloop. I've tried all the methods I picked up in here. Downloaded and attempted both RUU's through bootloader to no avail. Attempted via bootload to flash CWM...no go. Once I insert a fresh Fat 32 re-partitioned sd card with everything I need on it and try to boot, I'm stuck at HTC white screen, and the sd loses Fat 32.
I really do apologize for taking my frustration out the way I did. My sister has a Dinc and I really like the device. Sorry

You're going to have to use the HTCDev.com website to unlock your bootloader.
Ok so I've been looking around and can't seem to find really good answers to my questions. First of all I'm wanting to root a Japanese HTC Evo 4G on version 2.3.4 Hboot 2.15. The only way I can really find how to do this is to go through HTCdev and do a bootloader unlock. Now my problem with that is that it says it will wipe all personal information on the phone during this process, which I don't want to have to go through and re-input everything again. All posts I find on this are pretty old and don't seem to apply atm. So I guess basically I have a couple questions. Can you back up this info so that you don't have to back through and manually re-input it all?? Is it safe and good to do for my phone? I'm fairly familiar with the root process as I had an HTC Evo 4G before that I rooted but ended up losing that phone and had to get a new one, that being said it was my first root ever done. Also if anybody knows of roms that work great with the AU mail service?? I had flashed a couple of roms before and couldn't get that service back on the phone no matter what I tried so stayed rooted with just stock rom. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated and links and such. Thank you
Also I should mention that I don't understand or speak enough japanese to actually feel comfortable following a japanese youtube video on how to do this. I watched 1 and understood most of what he was saying but just not comfortable enough to use it as a guide.
Use the Revolutionary tool to root your phone http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
Hmm nope doesn't work. I keep getting Failed to get Root! Not sure what else to do after I punch in the beta key and hit enter it just sits at Zerging Root for about 30 secs then pops that up. Also it appears that maybe the HTCdriver is not working properly? When I look at the drivers from my computer for the phone it says 2.0.7.6 and when I click on the HTCdriver 3.0.0.007 nothing really happens except for asking for permission to run and then I hit run and that's it.
So here's a question now. I see I can delete the driver for this. Should I, then try to run HTCdriver 3.0.0.007?? Not sure what else to do atm.
Try uninstalling the driver and install them with this http://dl3.htc.com/application/sync/htc_sync_3.0.5617_us.exe
Then try using the revolutionary tool

You don't by chance have a PC36IMG file on your SD card, do you? I saw where this was causing some issues for others, particularly when the phone reboots to the bootloader. Delete the file if it's there, rename it or move it off the root of your SD card.
Also, make sure you have USB debugging enabled on your phone, and any antivirus software on your computer turned off. I've used Revolutionary to root & S-off 4 different OG EVO's and I've only had an issue once, and it was due to HTC Sync being installed on my laptop (Revolutionary would open and then immediately close).

Leave it plugged in for a while to ensure that it's fully charged. Then give us the information from HBOOT and we can help you proceed further.
Yup, what he said. Also, this isn't a hard brick, in a hard brick the phone wouldn't even turn on, and would have as much funtionality as a brick, hence "hard brick".

i know the battery is full as i charged it on an external charger as the wall charger seems to have no effect. Can i flash a pmg zip? i cant for the life of me get the damn computer to recognize the phone to do an ruu. and am having trouble finding the pmg zip i need.
Update, was able to get the ruu to recognize the phone but when it rebooted to bootloader it never turned back on. Was also able to get it to read the pmg zip for 3.29 but after it got through checking it it just goes back to the main fast boot screen and does nothing! If this thing isn't hard bricked I don't know what else it could be!

You don't have a hard brick. If you can turn the device on, then it isn't bricked.
You need to use a newer RUU. Check the 'restore stock after Revolutionary' link in my sig (desktop browser) - there are several PC36IMG files in that post you can use.

Depends on which PC36IMG file you choose. Each includes a description of the proper rooting method in the post. unrEVOked is probably the easiest, but Revolutionary is likely safer. And HTCDev is probably the safest of all, but it doesn't give you full S-OFF (but you can flash custom recovery, root and/or flash ROMs fine - just with some firmware limitations).
