Did your Inc2 come with 2.3.4? I had to send mine back and I'm waiting for my new one. I dunno which version I will get because I deff want to root it again.

no worries, there is a workaround to downgrade to hboot .97 then you can get s-off and root.

I just got a replacement. My usb port broke and the new one came with hboot .98 again... I have been trying the steps in the link above but I can't find the fastboot they list.

$20 to walk me through rooting my phone.

I'll give $20 to someone who will walk me through rooting my phone, via paypal.
It's the holidays so I can't do it now, however, I'd like to do it within the next few days.
I'd like to do it via skype. I'll have my cam ready so you can see my phone and computer screen, if you need to.
I'm afraid I'll mess something up, I read through the final frontier post for rooting, and it was so confusing for me, so I'd rather have someone help me and I will reimburse them.
I have hboot 2.10, version 0003 and my computer is windows 7 64 bit. I don't know if that matters but hey.
Thanks!

Read through the last 20 pages or so of zicronix root method then read through the steps a few times and you should be fine. I just rooted my phone a couple days ago with hboot 2.10, with little problems and nothing I couldn't handle on my own.

Novice w/ New Evo 4g wanting to flash it to Boost But...

I know i'm not the only one but i'm like a kid waiting for Christmas. In short, I bought a new Evo 4G used, its not even 2 weeks old. Gingerbread is on it (4.22.651.2) and im waiting for the ability to root /unroot [which way im not sure] and last i was told its Ruu is not made or found yet. Please make this an easy transition and let me know here if the Ruu is created and if the steps will be different than the other steps you've guys shown here and on youtube, please! Also, I'm paying for Boost's blackberry service (60 bux a month) which i won't need when i get the Evo 4G going. I would be over grateful for your patience and consideration. Also, i did do my due diligence to look for all the info and tried several rooting options i.e.: Unrevoked3 and so on, with no luck.
Thanks!!

If you would have looked harder (sarcasm), you would have found that there is not root method for the newest OTA update. There are dozens of threads pointing this out.
Thanks, tgruendler [re-sarcasm] I did indicate that i knew the OTA wasn't able to be rooted yet HOWEVERm if it did come about if it could be posted here, i'd Highly appreciate it since there is a TON of information throughout the site! Yet, Thanks for the Razzin'

[Q] How Do I downgrade my software on my incredible 2

Is there anyone out there that can help me take my inc2 and downgrade to the stock software so I can root it?

No, not yet. Once you get the Ginerbread update you are out of luck and must wait for a new rootable exploit to be discovered. Both the AlphaRev team and the Unrevoked team as well as others are actively working on trying to find new exploits.
The other choice is to find someone that has a XTC Clip diagnostic device that can be used to gain S-OFF on your device which will then allow you to install a custom recovery and custom rooted ROMs.
There is a number of threads on this. There is no way, as of now, to downgrade. The only way to get root, if you have 2.3.3, is to buy an XTC clip.
Edit..... I type too slow
I don't think anyone is actually trying. I think people just think people are trying. No one has come.out and said "hey. I'm working on it"

The devs don't normally come in these threads and post. Some people would be bugging them for ETAs, or flaming.

If you visit the Revolutionary site, there are a number of links to some of the developers that are working on GB root exploits. With a little investigation into Twitter land, you will see that they are working on several HTC devices. One of the exploits will work on the Desire S, so it is only a matter of time before they figure out how to make it work on the Incredible S/Dinc2, too.

After what happened with the froyo root, I'd be surprised if the root devs ever came into these forums again. They will probably not say anything until they have a working method.

Look in the inc 2 forums at rootzwiki. there's a sticky on downgrading (how to)
Sent from my rooted GB ADR6350
That is only for those with S-OFF via AlpharevX to downgrade back to Froyo and the stock boot loader. You need to be S-OFF and, correct me if i'm wrong, will still be S-OFF after the downgrade. It will not work if you're S-ON with GB, unfortunately.

[Q] Root for Android 2.3.3

How long do you think it will take for a ROOT to come out for the Android 2.3.3?
Between now and the end of time.
We don't know and asking for etas won't get you anywhere.

i am patiently waiting. I miss my old evo rooted. I was actually given a brand new evo that had 2.2 on it and the ota showed up and without thinking i updated. So mad about that.
Thanks, I'll be patient.
I understand this is hard work and you guys are doing it all for love (or for something other than money), so I'm not going to add my voice to the chorus asking when the root solution for 2.3.3 will be ready--even though I'm a-yearning and a-craving to upgrade and re-root my phone. I'll just say thanks for now to all you geniuses for making these phones so much better!
Hope it's soon because I'm ready I just got my evo 4g yesterday and tried to superoneclick root and z4root and it didn't work.. Never thought to check and see if 2.3 can root. Damn
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
the more people ask, the less likely it will be done!
And if you had searched, you would have seen this has already been asked!
I bet root will be available when you stop making new accounts just to make the same thread asking the same question over and over again.
If anything, the devs are probably getting tired of the obnoxious kids in the Evo forums badgering them. Instead of trying harder, I'd give up if I were in their shoes.
Believe it or not, there are worst things than not being able to root your phone.

Any progress on 2.3.4 Root update? Besides Clip?

The reason that i ask this question is that i bought my mother a droid incredible 2 as she needed a solid phone to use for her business and something for her emails, easy web access, amongst many other things business oriented that her LG flip phone couldnt do. The issue is i dont live anwhere near her so i cant do the only root methof that we currently have, bc im not there, and it would be overly dificult to remote in and explain to her and all that. My question is, is there going to be something as easy as unrevoked or revolutionary that will come out for this update? THat i can explain over the phone, not a problem. Dont flame me for asking, if you look at my stats ive been here for some time and dont need someone telling me to wait if im a noob, im not, i just dont have easy access to the phone. also, is there any easy way to to tether? without root? like changing something in the service menu? that is a fool proof tested way to work? sorry for all the questions, ive stopped coming here for a while bc f some dooche in the fascinate forums, that ended up in the thunderbolt forums, that then ended up in the bionic forums and i just got tired of him. Good to be back all, thanks in advance for any help
