Root 2.3.4 , Hboot 0.98 after new OTA? - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

Any way to root Din2 2.3.4 after new OTA. I just got a new Dinc2 and updated new OTA yesterday, now can't root with any of the methods on here. I am using a mac. thanks
Here are my setting:
vivo_w xb ship S-ON
HBOOT 0.98.0000
Radio- 1.09.01.1111
eMMC-boot

downgrade to root
A really bright developer, attn1, figured all this out for us.
See this post here on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298990
I've done 4 DInc2's recently using these directions.
Works PERFECT!!!
p.s. find a friend who'll let you use a Windows or Linux machine for a few min:
not happening on a mac

I just tried this but I am not getting Fastboot to work...Unless the mac is a problem for this specific phone because I have used it to root all 5 android phones I have had so far. Here is the error I am getting.

Looks like fastboot isn't working. Don't know that it will work on a Mac. I know revolutionary team only supports windows and linux.

Read your screen again.
"Not found" says nothing about something not working -- it means it's not found. The operating system into which you are typing doesn't know a default PATH wherein to find the command.
Just as a few lines earlier you can see './adb' [and not just 'adb'] try './fastboot' [and not just not 'fastboot'] (meaning, right here int the current directory, find and execute a program called fastboot).

[Q] Root Evo 4.53 With Mac ??

I Know You Can Root The evo 4g With The Revolutionary IO Website .. But Thats On A Windows. I Would Like To Know If There is A Way To Root With A Mac ? 0.o Please , I Hate Running On Stock Running All Those Stock Apps I Dont Even Use. Id Like To Really Test Out That New Sense. Please , Id Hate To Pay $250 Dollars For A Damn Brand new Phone Too , Have A Good Day ;D
I would suggest finding a friend's Windows computer. You can root Gingerbread with Revolutionary.io on a Mac, but you have to do it via a Linux virtual machine.
jd567890 said:
I finally got it!! Here's what I did if anyone else has problems on a mac:
Was able to get it to work using Ubuntu through VMWare Fusion
1) Make sure phone is connected to Linux by going to "Virtual Machine" --> "USB" --> "Connect High Android 1.0"
2) Ran revolutionary through terminal using "sudo ./revolutionary"
3) Copy and pasted serial/beta key as described on this thread many times
4) Program froze on "zerging root..."
5) Letting terminal sit there for a few minutes, I checked the "Virtual Machine"-->"USB" and noticed the phone had disconnected. Clicked on "Connect High Android 1.0" again
6) It completed root and rebooted to fastboot twice and gave me s-off.

If you are lucky enough to still have Froyo 2.2
Since it is not compatible with Gingerbread 2.3, revolutionary would be your only choice IF you have gingerbread. Go to Settings - About Phone - Software Information and see which one you have.
I Have 4.53 -.-
I Cant Downgrade Cause My Main Version Update Always fails.
Is There Another Way I Can Get Froyo , Or At Least A RUU I Can Run In A mac ?

You have to get s-off before before you can run a ruu to downgrade gingerbread on EVO....so that won't help you. I recommend installing virtualbox and run Ubuntu. It will take about 30 minutes to download and install all necessary files, and plus, you learn some new stuff. Revolutionary works very fast after you have Ubuntu running.
I'm an avid Mac user at home but when I am away from home I use Ubuntu on my clevo p150hm. Both are great platforms and have their plus and minuses.
And also, a "ruu" is technically an exe file that runs for Windows environment. Rom Upgrade Utility.
If.you need help with any if this feel free to contact me via pm.

[Q] Ask for help in rooting hTC Desire - Gingerbread 2.3.3 official RUU

Hi guys!
I`m sorry if this issue has already been discussed, but I`ve spent my last 4 days practically non stop online tot find a solution to my problem, and found nada.
Here`s my problem:
I own an hTC Desire and I`ve currently Upgraded my Froyo(2.2) to Gingerbread 2.3.3, running the official Gingerbread 2.3.3 RUU.exe file.
All went well, but this was kinda` stupid on my part. Gingerbread 2.3.3 works fine, but obviously I lost my root access, and also got an upgrade on HBoot, from 0.92 to 1.02, and I can`t seem to be able to root it anymore. I`ve tried everything I could find:
- Revolutionary.io - doesn`t detect my phone
- Unrevoked3 - "Unable to get root; is your firmware too new?" (duuh)
- Gingerbreak(1.0; 1.1; 1.2) - hangs on the root proccess and doesn`t get the job done, I`ve waited about half an hour, and got nothing
- HBoot flash utility from Alpharev (PC reboot on bootable CD from alpharev) - same, it hangs, doesn`t detect my phone.
- Created a Goldcard, copied new updates/ROMs to the root of the Goldcard, rebooted phone to recovery - "Version older than current" (that was expected).
Has anyone succeeded in root-ing the official Gingerbread RUU 2.3.3 on hTC Desire? And if YES, will you please, for the love of God, share it with me?
Here are my phone specs:
Android version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
Kernel version: 2.3.35.10-g3f43272

To narrow it down, revolutionary is the only way so concentrate on that. Ensure you read the documentation thoroughly as it has been successful for many
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
make sure you have usb debugging turned on then run revolutionary
USB debugging was always ON when attempting all of the above, "adb devices" lists my phone, so adb is fully working, I`ve also installed all of the adb SDK Windows drivers, including the "Booloader driver" - basically Windows Device Manager is OK in what drivers are concerned. I`ve covered all the basics, I`m not a newbie in this.
I realise that Revolutionary is the "main way to go", but it doesn`t detect my phone, no matter what I do.
I`m going berserk trying to root it
Not "main", only.
Tried different usb ports/ cables?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Tried that too, tried all of the above on different PCs/laptops, both Windows XP and Seven.
Still nothing
Well you're definitely doing it right it would seem. Maybe see if you can contact the revolutionary guys?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
There`s no contact listed on their site.
Plus, those guys have better things to do than mess around with my little problems
A downgrade would also suffice, rooting is easy on Froyo, but thanks to this version of HBoot, I can`t do that, either.
Users are incredibly lazy and/or stupid when it comes to figuring out how to solve problems by themselves. Unfortunately there are also other naive fools who will help every n00b asking even the most ridiculous question possible. And because of them they will return back and ask stupid question again. And again. And again. I guess this is the new form of trolling, otherwise I can't explain how completely sane people with IQ higher than ape are willing to willingly support n00bs without actually teaching them anything useful.
Thanks for ur "kind" words, Terepin. I do seem to have a low IQ, seeing how I`ve spent all this time trying to figure out a solution to my problem, and failed, ultimately, as a measure of last resort, asking for help here.
Please, "great one", enlighten me - and other "n00bs" like myself - : what is the solution to the problem previously presented?!
Should be easy for someone with such superior mentality.
Fact that adb sees it is one thing, but does it see Windows?
Alright i_cs_u
I did the same thing as you so used Revolutionary and it worked first time for me. I know thats no help but the only things I did different are the usual like unistall HTC sync and make sure you have the HTC fastboot drivers installed which are available on the Revolutionary site. Hope you sort it dude.........
Good question. Do you even have installed HTC drivers?
HTC Sync is long gone from PC, never really found any use for it, and yes, the drivers were installed, got them from the same site as u did. Like I said, I covered all the basics, I practically read each and every thread Google had to offer on this topic; for some Revolutionary worked, but seems like it has something personal with me, won`t detect my phone at all.
What the hell am I missing?
LE
@ Terepin, sorry for "barking" at you dude, just going outta` my mind here cause of this.
LE2
GOT IT DONE!
U won`t believe what was blocking it - THE BATTERY!!!
I`m using a custom made battery - 3500mAh, removed it, used the original one and it worked.
Why was the baterry blocking the software, makes no sense what-so-ever.
Thank you all for your help and patience!
Peace!
I've got exactly the same set up as the OP and want to root my Desire.
Is there a 'noob' guide for doing this using - Revolutionary.io?
Thanks
Yes. There are guides all over the internet. Just search 'how to root HTC desire using revolutionary'. The one on the cyanogen Wiki is pretty good.

If something is failing is you...the Hack Kit works like charm....just read the OP and the effen manual and everything will work. If were already S-OFF then you wouldn't have to run the Kit.
Did you unlock the bootloader or anything similar, thats probably why it's failing, or your PC isn't ready to use AAHK yet, read the EFFEN MANUAL 5 times then go to tge IRC and ask there

GuyInTheCorner, if he is failing to read, as I am thinking he is (even the unlocked bootloader is covered in the manual) is useless for him to hit the IRC. As stated in the OP thread, the IRC is JUST for people who get stuck..not to are not willing to read and learn....in the end he will be kicked.
I appreciate that you are willing to help, but sending him over the IRC won't sort his issue. It is ok to point him in the right direction, but teach him to walk is way out of reach in this forums. As I always say, he has to read and learn, because is his phone the one that is about to be rooted and if he gets stuck or bricks it, nobody will care but him. So, he first needs to know what rooting involves for his devices....:good:

[FIX] AAHK Advanced Ace Hack Kit ADB connection error Windows 8

I've been trying to get the AAHK working on my DHD with:
Ace pvt ship s-on rl
Hboot-2.00.0027
Radio-26.14.52.27
Android 2.3.5
Sense 3.0
Softwareversie: 3.12.405.2
Kernel 2.6.35.10-g931a37e
So, I've gone through all the steps of the Advanced Ace Hack Kit and I didn't get an ADB connection. The provided drivers didn't work with Windows 8.
I got the error that my phone wasn't connected, USB debugging wasn't enabled or the correct drivers weren't installed.
So I've gone down the road of virtual machines and Ubuntu, didn't work either... (presumably just because I'm a Linux NOOB)
[FIX] I solved this issue actually very simple. I downloaded the HTC Sync software from the official HTC website. Installed it and right after successful install I removed the HTC Sync software and the HTC Driver Manager (or something like that). ONLY keep the original HTC drivers. I Started the Advanced Ace Hack Kit again, and now everything worked perfectly. Just a heads up for people who are experiencing the same error and in need for a quick fix! Good Luck!
I have the same windows and the same stock rom. Thanks for the tips!
Question: if you would do it again would you just try and use a pc without windows 8? I suppose then there is no problem?
Did you experience some issues regarding your stock rom 3.12.405.2? I believe only 3.12.405.1 is mentioned in EFFEN manual

If I remember correctly, in the EFFEN Manual it is stated to.remove any software that handles mobile phones, hence HTC Sync. Glad it worked for you.

Wait, I don't think you're getting my meaning. Even if you have the AAHK file itself, the AAHK script is supposed to download files from the AAHK server. That server is now gone. So even if you manage to get the AAHK file itself, you still can't use it to get S-Off. Unless you just want the file for other purposes?

Ok my fault. I didnt know it downloads additional files from another server. My thought was that it already comes with everything so you didnt have to download anything else. But no I understand.

I know there's a way to get the files from another thread around here somewhere, but I've never used them and can't validate the files (and the OP has what I find is a rather offensive meme, but that's neither here nor there). And of course, it's unsupported; it's not how AAHK was intended to be used, and support ended with AAHK's retirement.
dude i used the "complicated method" last night, its really not complicated at all i realised, its just a matter of reading and doing. Once i realised this i managed to root and S-OFF within 20 minutes.

The problem is, on XDA I have no way of knowing whether any person asking is someone who can capably read and follow directions, or whether the person is someone who can only click buttons and complain when something breaks. So I lay out the options and let each person figure it out for themselves.

It still doesnt work, since the hack tool tries to contact the servers to download files, but fails because the files have long been removed.

hmm it seems half of my post is missing. I should have added to only use the hack Kit if you have previously downloaded all 9 ROMs named in the Hack Kit and edited the scrip to point to the downloaded files and not the online servers.
it is risky to use the hack kit because if anything goes wrong it is unsupported.

That is not correct. The Hack Kit script as it is, finds the PD98IMG file in the folder. You don't need to have all the 9 RUU's but the correct one. If the Hack Kit is not detecting it, then you are probably missing something.

Before you attempt to unlock your hboot via htcdev (lots worse that s-off) can you tell me what android programs you have installed on your pc, like htcsync of sony flashtool, android commander. anything like that? its probably a program thats interfeering with your system and not its drivers. Do not update, as to get s-off again you will have to just downgrade back to where you are now :good:

the great thing is i can now consistently connect to my device in both adb and fastboot modes, so i am definitely making progress. i think the key was that the PC's usb socket i was using is a little intermittent - i have now swapped to a different one (also USB2 instead of 3) and i'm getting a much more consistent connection!
however - i have been trying to unlock the bootloader using htcdev site - but having trouble with the RUU - it now connecte fine and reboots my device into recovery but then crashes. every time.
are you telling me i don't need to RUU on the htcdev site? can i s-off/root without??
thanks again

I would recommend attempting revolutionary from revolutionary.io again, assuming that your hboot is still 1.01.0001! keeping in mind that all htc sync type programs are a no-no ( but you have taken care of that ) usb3 ports a no-no for almost all android development and tools (including this one ) and lastly dont install the revolutionary version of clockworkmod recovery as it has a "charging bug" follow this guide and you shall be fine I recommend that you add clockworkmod recovery version 5.0.2.0 from post 2 section 6. using the pc49img.zip method is usually the easiest. tap this thread to let me know how you got on
yay it worked without problem!
thanks for all your help.
pretty sure it was just the USB3 that was the problem - why have i not read anywhere that this is a no no??
thanks all

Pretty sure usb3 was not widely used at the time, ergo not a known issue
