My rooting / rom experience has always been on very simple devices. The Droid X last year and this year I have my INC2 and my Charge. The Charge is really easy but the INC2 just seems to not like me. I really want to give my INC2 some usage but the Charge is performing like a champ and going to a stock INC2 is just outta the question.
The point I'm trying to arrive at is that I want to send my stock INC2 to someone reputable, and have it rooted rommed and RIPPED. Of course I'm willing to kick down a donation for the time and effort.
If there's someone interested, PM me your info and I'll get with you about the details. My INC2 is the stock 2.3.3 version.

Also just pay for a box with the phone in it, shipping to and from there. And whatever you feel is fair and ill do it.
As far as rep goes I have the best dev in the Eris forums as well as ppl over there. And anyone who may choose to vouch for me here
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
i dont have a rep... but i rooted my dinc2 and ill root your for free..
knipp is obviously very knowledgable i wouldnt hesitate sending him my phone and some moola. but.... i would also highly recomend you to figure it out and do it yourself. ROMs come and go and are updated so fast it will be very benificial for you to figure it out. Rooting, S-off, and recovery with alpharev is nearly 1 touch. from there just pick a rom and go to town. that being said, you could send it to knipp have him open it up for you and install all necessary items and ROM manager for you to swap and update ROMs with.
+1 on doing it learning it yourself. what happens if you have a bad bug or get a bootloop you won't know what to do to recover. revolutionary makes rooting extremely easy
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
Do it yourself it's free and fun and real easy. I come from a business background with no technical training at all and I did it and have been flashing ROMS all the time, can't decide which one I like best. I like the AOSP roms much more than the sense, part of the reason I rooted was do get rid of sense and use plain vanilla Android or close to it. The Inc2 is the first phone I have rooted and I am 43 years old, 15 year old kids know more about this than I do. So YOU CAN DO IT. Just read and read and read and when you think you have it figured out READ SOME MORE.

Yea, I was going to say there's any number of people here who'd be happy to walk you through the process step by step. As was said, roms are updated all the time, so you'll really want to know how to flash back and forth.
And just FYI, I had a Fascinate before this, and rooting the charge is pretty much the same as that. The Inc is different, but not difficult to root and flash.

Root from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160511
simply dl, unzip to desktop, install other files on website, plug in phone "with usb debugging" and set to charge. Run Alpharevx and it will do all the work for you. It will also install Clockwork Recovery.
From there I did this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160745
and after that simply install the ROM you want in the Dinc2 Android Dev section of this forum. I have used CM7 and MIUI 1.7.8. I was a CM fan but am really enjoying the MIUI interface and themes. You can DL Rom Manager from the market and have it DL and install the latest version of either one of these themes, or you can dl them from this site and install them manually.

It came with it preinstalled I read that much and when I saw that got a little frustrated
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA Premium App
first thing to do when you're DInc2 arrives is check the software info. If you're still on Froyo, then you're golden, you can use a free software utility made by Alpharev X to S-OFF (bypass the digital signature that prevents unauthorized software installation). If it comes preinstalled with Gingerbread, you're boned; the only way to S-OFF is to use an XTC Clip which will cost you abit of cash. If you find yourself needing to go that route, PM me, I have an unused PAYG XTC Clip with 1 credit.
In came with gingerbread is there not a way to flash the froyo Rom like the fascinate if not I don't think ill root for a while in case I need to take my phone in

Greetings! I am new to the DINC2, just downgraded from my Droid X2 (or upgraded, however you want to call it) and love it! The phone (unfortunately) came out of the box with 2.3.3 (I even asked the guy to check before he started setting everything up). Anyways, I came from the DX2 because there isn't much development going on for it at the moment and I honestly needed something smaller. So far I love it!
TL;DR
Holy crap did this thing come with a lot of bloat! I've looked around the forums and seen that GB is unrootable at the moment. Does this phone work at all like the DX2 as far as SBF goes (probably not, since RSD is Motorola)? Anybody have a clue when it's going to be rootable again? Like an ETA? I will gladly donate to whoever is working hard to make this possible!
Thanks!
From my less than 24hrs with the inc2 I have figured out there is no eta for root. You cannot sbf like motos. You can not downgrade like the incredible via a ruu. We are waiting for an exploit. It took over 2 months for an exploit to be found for 2.2. So it is a waiting game.

There is a custom sense launcher I the thread somewhere. I don't know if it works for us or not, but it may let you hide apps. I know launcher pro does. And has some sense theming if you want it.

This is true. However, if you can't wait a probable couple of months till root (by alpharevx/unrevoked) then you could always obtain s-off by purchasing an xtc clip. This is the only known way to root gingerbread currently.
So, Verizon decided they didn't want to deal with me and my lack of mobile web issue, and is sending me an Inc2. It should be here Tuesday. So, being the super sluthe I am, I've been checking out all the posts about rooting, and roms, and themes and apps. Is it really that easy to root this phone? Really??? There's no problems with voodoo and non-voodoo, and flashing the wrong kernel with the wrong cwm???? Seriously????? OMG! I'm going to love this phone! I think I've been able to use my fascinate for about 10 days out of the last 30 because I flashed a voodoo kernel on a non-voodoo rom and bricked my phone. I had to go back to eclair , and now I can't root it again. I can't wait to get this phone!
Peace!

Yep, now that Gingerbread has been s-off'd this phone just became awesome. I can't ever see myself going to something different for the time being.
Oh yes. Coming from the charge this phone is a piece of cake to root and flash

I came from an Incredible which was rooted and running CM7 for about 8 months. Now that I had the Incredible 2 I felt underwhelmed because I couldn't root it. That has all went away since I am rooted.
I dont see how this phone is easier to root? SuperOneClick was pretty straight forward. And the Fascinate was pretty unbrickable. This phone isnt.

Gotta agree here. Just came from the Fassy myself. Was pretty simple as long as you knew what you were doing and followed directions and not flashing voodoo onto non voodoo I felt better knowing it was virtually impossible to brick my device with Odin on standby. I just rooted my inc2 last night and I havent flashed anything yet but I am researching the better and stable roms in the dev section to try and pick one. They all look great so its hard to decide. Lol. Think I want a Sense 3.0 rom though. Anyone have any good suggestions? Preferably one that is bugless and everything functioning correctly.

If its hacks an Roms you want? THe Dinc 2 is great!!!
The dinc 2 is a great phone with plenty of Roms to choose from. If I had an upgrade i would get the new $300 HTC smartphone (but thats just becuase of the specs).
If you get a dinc 2 it will be running android 2.3.4. THat version is not rooted yet.
but you can downgrade to android 2.3.3 using this

for Rooting Revolutionary gives permanent root for some devices , and for others it give root but not complete permanent root ( incredible 2 is in the second group i believe ) , go to thier website for more . still you can install do all rooted things
as for Roms , if you are using CDMA there is plenty of excellent Roms Sense 3.5 . if you want GSM very few Roms for that and the maximum is Sense 3 for a stable bug less GSM Rom
the phone is nice , and battery is Very good in my opinion
Got mine at Costco for $30.
Might be a good time to check eBay/CL for a used one...

I say go for it. Rooting was fairly straightforward and I have never used adb before that. I love it so far though. It gets way better battery life than the thunderbolt and has cynanogen mod as well as really good sense roms. Also the dev have a pretty decent ICS beta out so if you want that it probably it will be stable I a bit. Enjoy
