Can I root my phone? - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

The phone is the incredible 2
I have somewhat of a recent update my phone is running 2.3.4.
I did see the tread about rooting only if your running 2.3.3, I did not read all 24 pages to find out if there is any info on there about rooting newer updates.

if hboot version is 0.98 theres no software root available right now. only way right now is xtc clip

How would I know the hboot version?

Turn the phone off, then turn it back on while pressing the volume down button.
If your Hboot version is .97 then great you can still root. If it is .98 then great you have an opportunity to read up and become more familiar with your device before rooting. I would recommend reading through a step by step guide on how to root and install cwm on your phone. It will be a little abstract since you won't be actually performing the steps but it is good to know what you are getting into.

OK, I tried holding down the volume and powering up, and boots up normal.
This is bad right.

Did you turn fastboot off in power settings??

Trying to avoid a brick! Quick help.

I got myself into a interesting situation. A quick answer would be greatly appreciated:
1. I'm rooted.
2. Trying to install the OTA so I can run 2.2 the right way.
3. I started a thread asking for help because I was confused on unrooting my phone. Didn't get much help, a quick flame, and last someone chimed in to install the OTA from Rom Manager. I asked if I could do this with Root and the thread was killed.
4. I did. The boot screen was the new one. But the radio wasn't updated.
5. I then attempted to unroot my phone. Followed the PB31IMG.zip method. Phone booted normally. Root was lost.
6. This is where I am now.
7. My question is, if I install the OTA now renamed update.zip on my SD card, will I run the chance of bricking my phone because I installed it once from Rom Manager while I had root (#3/#4)??????
Please advise so I don't MOD EDIT up my phone.................
And if you're going to flame and insist I should of just followed the 2.2 leak instructions, you're correct. But I took someone's quick answer and tried it assuming they knew a better method.

Well, "the right way" would be to wait for the actual OTA. Verizon would also have your back if you brick. But, anyway...
If you're still on the 1.00.03.04.06 radio, you can probably follow the instructions in that thread now that you've flashed back to the stock ROM. However, there still seem to be a few cases of people bricking their phones or being stuck in a bootloop after flashing leaks.
If you are confused/concerned/afraid of bricks then you just shouldn't flash the leaked OTA. This is not a flame, this is sound advice. Wait for the real one.
I'm fine with flashing. I just keep hearing about this "double install OTA and brick your phone" issue and I'm trying to avoid doing that. If the one guy didn't chime in with the suggestion to use ROM Manager, I wouldn't of had this issue.
My radio is still 1.00.03.04.06. I just want to make sure I don't run a risk of bricking.
If the hboot updated, i would say not to apply again. If it didnt update then i would say to see what happens, but dont take my word for it 100%

I personally have had a .77 HBOOT since I got my phone in April. My mom's phone, on the other hand, had the .79, which she has had since May, and she sure as hell didn't have no 720p camcorder. I don't think that the OP's phone having .79 means with any certainty that the OTA already applied once. I think the radio version listed on the HBOOT screen would be a better indicator.
But absolutely, running the PB13IMG should ensure that he's as far back as he can go, so why not try it just to be safe...

That's what I just did before I posted this thread. I installed the PB13IMG and restored everything back to stock. You asked about the HBOOT version and that's .79. I'm comfortable flashing and doing the update. What should HBOOT say? Has anyone successfully updated the OTA from .79 HBOOT?
Thank you for the help. Sorry for the questions. I completely comfortable with rooting, flashing roms, and kernals. This is going back to unroot stock is just new.
I want to install the OTA and I'm good to go. Just making sure it's safe now....

Agreed, however, I noticed after running the PB13IMG, my HBOOT was also .79, which could have only come from the PB13IMG since I hadn't tried to do the OTA yet. Just trying to add pieces to the puzzle to get a better picture for future reference...I'm sure this guy wont be the last to ask...

I appreciate the help guys. I guess my question would be if I ran PB13IMG, lost my root, back to stock, my HBOOT is .79 and my radio is still 1.00.03.04.06 and not 2.05.00.06.11, I should be at the same point as everyone else for installing the OTA from my SD card. Right or wrong?
When you read these threads and people are installing the OTA twice and bricking, are they installing the OTA again when the radio is already updated to 2.05.00.06.11?
Yep. I think you can flash it again, but be real cautious, as this is your second time flashing it, but if the radio is still the old versoin, you should be safe.

[Q] big question for the unrooted users??

Nope
They don't find out if you full unroot it

I had my volume button replaced running cm7 (s-off). The tech knew instantly. He said his phone was rooted so he knows my mine was lol. He did mention that there's nothing they can do about root unless they have to give you a refurb or replacement on spot that's about it.
They hook it up to a computer so if you're rooted they'll know but if you unroot they will never know...

Here's the unroot link. If you're running the latest GB 5.02 radio/baseband you need to downgrade to the 11.19 radio from 2.2 or s-on won't work.

And here's where you will find the link to downgrade your radio to the 11.19 version. This needs to done before you unroot with the link above.

You need to use an RUU that matches your bootloader, or get s-on from the unrevoked zip you flash in recovery, then flash a 3.70 PC36IMG RUU.
Jcki4.....Just keep in mind, that if for any reason your device gets swapped out by them not fixing it or what have you....you will more likely get a GB 2.3.3 updated device with a locked bootloader. NO root options with that at the moment...until someone exploits it, HTC updates OTA, or unrEVOked is updated to include Hboot 2.16. I myself have learned my lesson the hard way....and patiently I wait....

[S-OFF] AlphaRevX Pre-2 Beta supports VIVOW HBOOT 0.97

Check your bootloader version before attempting.
This day has been long in the making!

but if my gb build is hboot .97 am i good to go for the alpha beta or is this still 2.2 only !?!!?!?!?

A method to get back s-on is usually released some time after. I think we can assume it'll come.
as mentioned by jcase, if you upgraded to GB using RUU OTA whatever, no alpharevX for u. XTC clip is ur only option.

You need at least temp-root to S-Off via Alpharev. If you ignored repeated warnings to not upgrade to GB, then you're out of luck for now. Sorry...spend your money on an XTC clip.

Now, just so I'm clear (not my first Android device so I'm not wholly new, but it is my first HTC), if I used alpharevx to get S-OFF, I will remain that way even if I went OTA to GB, I just would be unable to root? Is that correct?

You well get a key generated only after you type in your serial number from the device. Its unique and will be good for that one time. You will need to keep the internet browser window open during the process.
If you turn of the internet it will not work
I did mine using a bare bones xp home acer atom.
you need the internet on while doing this. Don't turn of the internet our the browser

seems like another htc gotcha! so if your not rooted before the ota, and you updated, no root/unlocking for now i think is the consensus.

if you had been reading up on rooting and really doing your research then you should have learned that you never accept an update right when it comes out because you lose the ability to root until a fix is found (and it often takes some time).

just tried htcdev method to unlock phone. phone now shows unlocked. success with booting twrp recovery, will try to flash rom utilizing same method as EVO 3D users with HBOOT 1.50, should be the same. will update.
Edit: Okay, just booted up SWAG ROM. Unlocked using HTCDEV method. Pushed the kernel via adb fastboot, boot.img from the unzipped ROM folder. Then flashed the zip which was on the root of the SD card, just as described in the EVO 3D development forums, using twrp1.1.1.

Here's what I came up with. Still may do a video. Hope it makes sense, it was very early/late when I wrote this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458491
Slightly off this topic, but along the same lines, so I didn't want to start another thread.
I rooted back in November, prior to the latest OTA update - and had a pretty good understanding of what I was doing - I think.. heh
I NEVER flashed a new ROM, Kernel, Radio, etc. Only backedup, rooted, removed some bloatware, and that's it.
I still have superuser su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip (I think?) in my root folder of my SD Card. Nothing else.
I backed up my Nandroid to my computer, as well as all the TitaniumPro backups of bloatware.
I saw Brad560's two posts - both Barebones and Stock ROM's.
In the Stock post, he listed Deodex'ed, Odexed, and Original UnRooted ROM. This confused me, as I'm still trying to wrap my head around the flashing part. Then I saw a reply about Radios?
I think at this point, I definitely want to remain rooted, but would like the "official" release from HTC/Sprint (in root form, stable, as close to the original as possible, for now).
Which ROM should I grab?
Will I need to flash a new kernel? I don't have any desire to overclock or anything.
And will I need to update the Radios separately?
Thanks, sincerely appreciate any help.
Just read in brads thread and all your answers will be there.

Thanks for replying.
I have read it. That's the first time I had heard of those things, which is why I asked here.
I think some folks forget what's it like to learn this stuff.. and while many here have been around for awhile and have absorbed over time, there are people like me (a military pilot btw lol) who has a tough time grasping some of the verbiage. I had the rooting thing down. Flashing a ROM seemed easy enough, though hadn't done it. Then someone throws up 3 versions in that post and 2 in the other. I get his barebones stuff - for the most part - he stripped stuff out.
Anyway, I suppose I will take the plunge and pick one of the ROMs, then suppose flash the latest radios.
Thanks!

This thread really belongs in Q&A. It's a question.
If he doesn't care if it's S-OFF or not then just make sure it's S-OFF and flash the gingerbread RUU.
2.2 is more stable for me that's y I said that I said just do the dwngrde

Getting it s-on is as easy as flashing the froyo radio http://dinc.does-it.net/Radios/2.15.00.07.28/PB31IMG.zip thru hboot, then flash the s-on patch http://dinc.does-it.net/Unrevoked/unrevoked-forever-son.zip thru recovery, and then flash the latest ruu http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip thru hboot. Thats it , but as tiny said i would keep it s-off unless the buyer really wants it s-on. That way if he ever does decide to root, it makes it that much easier.

The only instability GB has for SOME is the 2am bootloop. I my self have never had the issue. Also if you install froyo you will continuously get the update nag to gb anyways. The only way to stop that is to be s-off and rooted.

What i just do is i go to Hboot. You can go to HBoot when your phone is turned off. While it's turned off, hold the power button and the volume down button simultaneously. Then, use the volume buttons to highlight the factory reset button. Then, press the power button to select it. It lets me go back to stock, but, for others, it just wipes their apps. i hope it works for you!
