Touch Recovery? - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

If I don't have CWM on my DINC2 yet, will I still be able to have Touch Recovery? Or will I have to flash CWM then touch recovery?

You can flash TWRP instead of CWM. I just had to flash a stock rom through fastboot and I was able to install TWRP with no issues without CWM. I was already S-off though so it could create a different set of circumstances for you.

You can just flash it directly, but I don't think we have CWM Touch for our phone yet. At least not on the official CWM site. Or are you referring to 4EXT recovery?

We have 4EXT or TWRP.... I personally prefer 4EXT.

Haven't tried TWRP yet but I'm happy with 4EXT too. Love the Super Wipe and Format All options.

4ext FTW

I flashed 4extrecovery with s-on and it worked. I had alot of problems getting mine to downgrade if you got a model 6.01.605.05 good luck if you do I found a way to get recovery superuser and a custom rom installed on it but the downgrade didn't work for me and I have seen others with that model with same problem.

Sounds like you need to root you phone first. I would use revolutionary to do so. Its easy and quick did it last week when i got my sprint replacement phone.
revolutionary.io/
Wait what ??? My phone is rooted I'm using the express ROM ...
I been rooted for like 2 years now I just didn't notice that I neeeded S-off to flash hboots or radios. Which is weird because I used to flash radios and flash a new hboot with S-on . But now i can't update the bootanimation the PC36IMG.zip file or update the hboot.

This is no problem. I assume you changed your HBOOT to use the Anthrax kernel? Well, you should've downgraded your radio first, and then this would've been a LOT easier. But, since you're stuck at S-ON, now, you'll need to follow these instructions to fix it.

Hey captain I'm guessing you want me to do this? ?
It'll be okay . Boot into recovery and nandroid. You'll need it once you're done.
Just download this: PC36IMG_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Ra dio_2 .15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.zip
Rename to PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD Card. Boot into Bootloader, and let it update your device.
Then, once it boots up, got into settings and enable USB Debugging, and go to unrevoked.com and select unrevoked3 to root & NAND unlock your device.
Then, you can switch your recovery to Amon RA, full wipe, and restore your nandroid.

If I do this can I still be able to flash the express rom and the anthrax kernel. Or I have to flash another hboot and then do this process again?..

You won't have to do anything with your HBOOT anymore after this. This will get you back to S-OFF, and at the end, you'll just restore whatever you're running now (unless you just want to flash something else).
You can flash the Express ROM, the Anthrax kernel, the updated radios, and you'll still be S-OFF.
Trust me, just follow the instructions. it's easy. You have to download and install the Froyo ROM so you can re-root with unrevoked. After that, you're just installing a custom recovery and restoring your nandroid.
Okay I got it but you lost me in the last part. Okay so I need to install a froyo rom right now then update the PC36IMG.zip and then let it boot. Go to settings and use the USB debugging and go to the website install the exe. Root the phone and nandroid it? .....

S-off question

My Incredible 2 is S-off and rooted using the Revolutionary Method. Once the ICS stock RUU is release can I do the following?
1) Update the the stock ICS RUU?
2) If I am at stock ICS RUU, can I re-root again because I have S-off? If so, how?
a) I understand that when I install the stock ROM, the ClockWorkMod will be removed/replaced. how would I re-install the ClockWorkMod so I can re-root again?

1. Yes
2. Yes, flash the recovery image with fastboot, instructions are in the thread. After you have the recovery, you can flash an su zip to root it.

Or option 2. Wait until one of our awesome devs makes a regular rom out of it. This would be my preferred method.

Whatever recovery you want to use. 4ext and cwm both have instructions for a fastboot flash I think, but twrp needs root to use the installer and you need to jump through hoops to find the recovery image for it. As for the su zip, I use chainfire's supersu zip, just search for his thread on it.

I would use CWM.
What is the advantage of chainfire's superuser zip file over the one that's posted on the "Revolutionary" site?

Nothing really, supersu is supposed to be better than superuser, but tbh I just like it because the notification text sounds cooler

Custom Rom with S-on!?

I have a rooted evo 4g, if I wanted to load a custom rom with S-on, what would I have to do?
Just flash as normal. You don't need s-off to flsh rom
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
I read something like you have to start recovery through adb through fastboot if you are s-off
Flash a recovery through adb? That first if you don't have a recovery already.
yeah I already have a recovery, so I can just boot into recovery and flash?

Go back to rom manager go to its settings menu and check the erase recovery before flash option. Then reflash cwm thru rom manager.
Sorry but it doesn't work
I erased the recovery pior flash but it's still the same

If your s-off put this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/TWRP_2.3.1.0/PB31IMG.zip on your sdcard in no folders, and boot to hboot. It should find the file and prompt you to press vol up to install. It is TWRP recovery. Flash that see if you can access it, if you can access it, either stick with TWRP or flash back to cwm http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip, and see if you can access it then.
ok
ok gonna give it a try
thanks for ALL your help
fixed!
Thank you soo much!
although i have a question,Why did cwm appear instead of twrp?
that's strange.....

You flashed the twrp one and cwm came up? Thats not what i was expecting, but if it fixed it i guess all is well.
EDIT: Lol nevermind, i forgot to add in the link for the twrp one, and just put the one for cwm. So the one you flashed was cwm 5.0.2.0. I edited my previous post amd added the twrp link.

[Q] S-Off

hi i wanna know if i can get s-off w/ the classic rom? or do i need to revert back to stock rom?
i got this phone a few months ago, rooted, installed recovery and rom, skipped the s-off because i was lazy. now i wanna install aokp roms and it seems that i need s-off in order to do that. correct me if i'm wrong.
many thanks for your time.
No. You don't need s-off for AOKP. You're fine. Just make sure you backup and wipe properly.

The only problem with s-on is that you need to flash the boot.img from the rom separately in fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

You don't even have to do that I thought? Its flashing radios that need S-OFF.

This is true for the EVO LTE when it's S-on (unless it's Hboot 1.12, then it doesn't matter), but on the OG EVO it's not an issue. Only issue with being S-on on the OG is not being able to flash radios, as stated above.
