Maybe I'm blind, but I'm searching all over the dev forum for the incredible 2, there are no official links that explain how to root the phone. Please help, thank you.
I would think that if have been searching you would have read that there is no way to do a software root. You probably would have also read that you can buy an XTC clip to achieve S=Off.
Is this just temporary or will there be a way to software s-off? I'm sorry I have been searching and reading I just don't understand I'm a noob the original incredible was easy to do cause I used unrevoked
Again, if you had been reading, you might have come across a thread that discusses the software method of S=Off.
link me please?
to answer your question... no there is no software unlock yet. It is coming, it has been verified to work and has been done to a few testers.
there is no ETA.
if you need it now, buy an xtc clip and you can unlock it immediately.
lastly, this should be in general, not development.
thanks brah
Sit tight bro. Root will be here soon enough. Add the the thread to your favorites this way you can stay up to date on any news. As for being a noob don't let some of these cats intimidate you with there snooty replies. I'm sure they were never noobs.

Yo thanks alot for the info guys, yeah the snootiness doesnt get to me, to each their own im sure there are a lot of things I could be anal about and act superior towards people who know less about it but that just shows lame character. Hopefully we'll get the software released soon, cheers.

Some people are anal about posting in the wrong section or posting something that's already answered because it clutters up the forum and our mod already has a tough job. That's why I get anal about it

There is life beyond the message board, you might want to have a look.
I understand that this is a matter of semantics, but the I2 was rooted long ago...with software. What we're lacking is an unlock to allow root to be permanent (persistent through reboots). You can root now and gain many of the benefits (and problems) of root if you really want to without paying a dime.
Now if you want to use custom firmwares, that requires unlocking. This can be done with a piece of hardware that is available now, or a piece of software that everyone is still waiting on.
Anyone selling an XTC
Im willing to buy anyones used XTC clip for half price....anyone...anyone...

I do...I serve the country of the united states...I fight for the freedom my family, friends, and even people I do not like. I use this for fun and to relax and keep my mind off the fact I may not be home to see my wife..to relax from the fact I will miss my sister and wifes graduations..I use this because my life outside the army is limited currently.
Thanks though.

I have done some searching and have found two possible routes. One is AlpharevX (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132920&page=40) and the other is with the Rebel XTC (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156534&page=5).
The sites are http://alpharev.nl/x/beta/, and http://www.xtcclip.com/.
AlphaRev is still beta though they claim no bricks reported so far. Since it is Beta you are supposed to interactively get a Beta key from their site to activate the software. This key is generated only if it 'likes' the serial number. The latter by the looks of it is a hardware tool which loads on your sd-card. If you go the alpha route then you must manually download and install the viow version of CWM! Still waiting for Unrevoked!

Stable software root does not exist for the inc2.

Can we stop this nonsense argument please.
On a different note, bummer they didn't include the Inc 2 in their public beta. Ah well..
Hey guys,
I thought I might get the ball rolling and throw a post up here. Was a Samsung Vibrant user before I got my SGS-II on Friday. The AIO Vibrant Toolbox became an invaluable tool for flashing/rooting/stock-flashing/etc. my Vibrant. Was wondering if anyone was working on developing the same tool for the SGS-II?
If the source is available anywhere, I wouldn't mind taking a look at it myself with one of my buddies. I'm a wireless test engineer for an Android Device that's in development and we've worked on some android housekeeping/downloading/utilities software over the past few months. Wouldn't mind trying to contribute to the XDA Community.
Either way, I think it would be awesome to have something like this with the inevitable torrent of ROMs/Mods/Roots and such that will be coming.

IDK about you, but it seems pretty clear to me that he wants the source for the Toolbox, not the phone...
Thanks, downloading that now.
What about the binaries/source for the Vibrant Tool? I know I might have to check the Vibrant forums for this, but if anyone on here is a Vibrant Migrant like I am and happens to have/know the location of the original source for it, that would be awesome.
Thanks in advance.

You're right, that was what I was actually looking for. Doesn't hurt to have a link of the SGH-T989 source readily available though either.

..it's a newer version of the EVO http://androidcommunity.com/htc-evo-design-4g-review-20111027/
I was thinking of opening up another line for my wife, I don't care for the 3d or paying 200+ for a new phone.
I wanted to see if anyone here would know if there is any kind of support like root or ROM development on this phone. I don't hear much or any buzz. (once you root, it's the way to go) Can't just have a plain old stock phone..lol!

He's talking about the new Evo Design, and the section (or lack of) for the device.
I've seen a few mentions / requests, kind of surprised they haven't created one yet.

oooh, my bad then.
Yea, seeing as my wife and myself have the evo design, and its not a bad phone.. it needs some love, and customization options.
Lets get a forum going for it, and get it some ice cream sandwich ! lol
I also was looking for some support for this phone as I am thinking about getting this on another line. Like most people here I don't like to keep anything stock for to long after I get it home. Well I will just wait and see what happens here.
Alright this is a thread for all of your thoughts, opinions and help for Ubuntu Touch.
Here is my request:
I kind of want Ubuntu Touch for the AT&T S3 I am willing to help in anyway necessary. I just need a direction. I don't know how to make roms, but I am a fast learner.
Here is a porting guide/link:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
Here is my thought.
I WANT IT NOW!!!!
There is actually a port being made for the VZW s3 i belive on another forum some linked it on here a while back. it was still far from ready but it is in the works

So I was thinking, maybe we could compile from source.
I cannot find a thread for the ZTE Zinger Z667T yet.
Maybe it is too new? Or am I searching badly?
Low end phone but it is a dirt cheap GSM ($10 !) yet fast dual core with KitKat 4.4.2
https://www.phonearena.com/phones/ZTE-Z667_id8985
The hardware buttons are WAY too bright and and haptic feedback is way too strong.
Hoping those can be addressed someday as well as reprogramming hardware buttons.
Framaroot and towelroot do not work on it. Bootloader rom replacement is probably a pipedream?
Apparently this phone is also sold as the "Whirl 2" same exact specs and internal model number (Z667G) for $10 at some dollar stores
This post is a must read for the possible future of these models:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...ndroid-gsm-t2936545/post57312948#post57312948
2015-05-13 Whirl2 has been partially rooted (adb shell root)
I picked one of these up as well. I would be happy just with root, no need for a ROM here. I am curious how long it will take to get root access. I might play around with rooting, but really have no idea where to start at.

Yeah, I tried Kingo Root as well. It ran for about 15 min and reset twice. Its doing something with it, but not rooting. I'd like vnc as well. Good luck guys!!
The only chance at root for now perhaps is for someone to go through all the permutations that geohot allows inside of towelroot via modstrings:
https://towelroot.com/modstrings.html
Hopefully zte did not patch it after June 3rd because then none of the futex bug root hacks are going to work and we might have to wait a long time for another exploit to be found.
I'll happily send one of these phones to any established developer who has proven they can root other phones without known exploits, no need to return it, PM me.
Or better yet, maybe we all can somehow contribute to a "bounty" for rooting it, which might motivate talented people.
count me in for a root also!
+1 for root, I'd love it
I'm not sure how to do this officially but I'll offer a 100K (100,000) dogecoin reward for any developer producing a working root for this device.
Note the reward is for the actual developer, not someone who just finds another tool that does it.
Less than 5% of dogecoin remains unmined so they are bound to increase a bit in value over time.
Maybe others can contribute to the reward as well.

Where would be the best section to post so a dev would see this? I'm sure we can get a real bounty going.
Picked some of these for Perk TV They run pretty well.

Tried a couple different versions, and no go on all of them. It say can't get a handle on it, permission denied off the bat.
How can we get some traction on this? I got $5 in my paypal account ready to roll.
All the stores are sold out in my area, but if I can get another one for $10 I'd gladly send it to someone with the skills to try and root it.
Yeah I would also like to see this rooted so I can VNC into it

Do you have a source for this? I am trying to figure it out also. I agree people do freak out too much though.
I don't know where I saw it but there are claims that the app can see other apps being used and they then ban you based on that.

Yeah I knew about that because of the app (I can't remember it now) that will emulate finger presses. But has anyone confirmed if VNC will get you banned?
