try flashing a custom kernel.
I did already. I use tiamat kermal. I just need to know if a permanent root for Droid Inc2 exist and if so where? I only remember rooting when u had to get a beta key.

Nvm! I dont even think there is a solid Perm Root for the Inc2 yet ooops
I'm perm rooted. I used revolutionary and I'm good.
Sent from my rooted MIUI Dinc2
So how do u know that you are perm'rooted?
Cuz I have superuser app, I've flashed many a ROM kernel, and hboot says S-OFF
We achieved perm root like a month or so ago.
Sent from my rooted, MIUI DInc2
I have flashed Rome Kernels and a few other things but how can I know if I indeed have a perm. Lol
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
A temp root will go away once you reboot. A perm root is just that, permanent.
Sent from my rooted MIUI Dinc2
I feel genius lol I perm'rooted. Thanks
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
No problem dude. Just know if you can flash anything, you're perm rooted. As far as I know, the only thing you can do with temp root is screenshots
Sent from my rooted, MIUI DInc2
You can also freeze bloatware while temp-rooted.
But what happens when you reboot? Won't it unfreeze?
Sent from my Droid Incredible 2 HD
I don't believe so. I've never done just a temp root, seeing as I've been able to perm root. I'm only repeating something that I had read somewheres when trying to find material on rooting when I first got my phone lol.

I'm rooted and I have that exact version. I used unrevoked 3 to root my EVO.

I have the same evo got it like a week ago I used the hboot s-off guide under android development but only problem I had with that program was that I couldnt access recovery so then I used unrevoked to flash clockworkmod revovery do this at your own rish though I messed my first evo up by just using unrevoked camera wouldnt work im 14 I think you will be able to figure out how to use the hboot guide but when you flash a rom make sure its a 3.30.651.3 other wise you camera wont work im using OmegeEvo v1.1 by racism

Where do u get unrevoked 3 at? Do i get that from the market and will it brick my phone? Can i use any rin with it?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
do not use unrevoked it will permanently curropt your radio. unrevokied 3 is now out of date, thanks to htc's latest security update. use an alternative method if you happen to have a mac, i have a very nice 2 or 3 command root kit for you... testers wanted
So u cant use unrevoked 3? I do not have a mac i have a pc. I really want root mine. Im coming from the hero

I did not have any problems rooting my EVO using Unrevoked3. I followed the simple instructions and the process was painless. Before getting my EVO, I rooted my Droid Incredible using Unrevoked3. As for it being outdated as stated by someone else, I'm unaware of it. Check out the second link above and read for yourself. Happy Thanksgiving.

unrevoked does not work on any 3.30 evo software because of the new hboot security. it will not gain root, just corrupt the radio.

My buddies EVO has never been rooted and he got the GB OTA. He wants to go to CM7. His bootloader says S-off so I don't know why I can't install superuser.
Oh, I searched dont cop a 'ttude
His phone is rooted, but the ROM doesn't have superuser privileges. Download a rooted 2.3 version and install it for superuser privileges. Flash AmonRa as a PC36IMG if need be

Wait whoa just read that. He has never rooted his phone, but it says S-Off? And if it is S-Off, just flash AmonRa and go to the CM7 thread and download it and flash it.

How could that be how could he have s-off and never have been rooted?
Is that possible?

Got to admit he is right how is that possible. Sounds like it was rooted and had unrevoked forever then he updated. Why he updated is another story but like you were told just run Amon PC36IMG file and flash away

Why don't you just use unrevoked 3? Its really easy!

Just use what I posted above, its the easiest method to root 2.2. All you need to do is restart to clear the temp root.

Unrevoked will install clockwork, then you can install amon RA. Lets not jump the gun you still need root lol.
the way your rooting right now is the way i rooted my phone! i think i ran into that exact same problem back then too....i think i pulled my battery and started over....i cant remember...its been like 7-8 months.
also...what you can do...is run the RUU for 2.2 to wipe your phone (also do a factory reset beforehand too and back up your sd card on your comp) and then start over.
or try a different way...try unrevoked or xHausx's method: [ROOT] ~~~ HTC EVO - Auto Root ~~~ v2.5 (4/25/11) - xda-developers
after you got your evo rooted....flash Amon_RA recovery ([Recovery] [09-Feb-2011] RA-supersonic-v2.3 - xda-developers)
hopefully this helps ya out!
Ok I have a rooted EVO with the 2.10 hboot. I'm considering trading with my friend who has an EVO with the for now, unrootable 2.16 hboot.....If we were to swap phones, SD cards, numbers, the whole nine.... Would my phone lose root?? Thx in advance!
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
since your swapping for the unrooted Evo with hboot 2.16, then yes....you will lose root. hboot 2.16 is still locked and there is no way to root it as of yet. be patient tho....there will be a rooting method out soon...you just have to give it time

No it won't unless you accept an ota etc or unroot it yourself.

correct...that will keep root...as long as your friend doesnt update with OTA
If youre on an AOSP ROM flash a Sense ROM to provision the phone (don't know about about all AOSP ROMs by Cyanogen wont let you put in ## codes or update profile to program), and flash back to whatever you want afterwards. Just don't accept the update.

So I had already unlocked the phone using HTCDev's boot unlocker. Everything seemed fine right up until it came time in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751796 to run Revolutionary. The phone is bootlooping to the point that Revolutionary can't get the root, it fails and says hit almost any key to exit.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm about to throw this thing through the window.
is it GB 2.3.3 or 2.3.4?
try flashing a newer radio
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Do you happen to have a link to one?
crap the only place its even stable enough is at the bootloader and adb can't communicate with it. I don't know what to do. This blows.
search this forum for radios. there's a thread on dev section. and what android version were you on when you tried to root? might have to use taco root for 2.3.4 I think
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Well, if you unlocked through HTC you have to relock in order to s-off. Not sure if you knew that.
