[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.

Wow!! No wonder they have n00b videos and posting restrictions in place!

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.

That only works if you already have s-off.

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.

cbinvb's TW ICS build

So who is cbinvb? I'm running the build he posted last night on IRC, and it's awesome. No development thread from him though, and I think he released the best ICS rom I've tried so far.

I'm pretty sure he posted my rom. I will ask him later when I talk to him on gtalk. He was one of the first testers I sent it to.

Yeah, I was wondering if it was your build or not. Was it called "ATT-ICS-Tmo-PORT_2.zip"?
edit: I noticed in your development thread you said that shutdown isn't working? It works fine in this build.

Give it a whirl. Just make a nandroid backup first (then superwipe before installing).

I dont believe its racers rom, at a glance of course, havent flashed yet, but Racer's rom is 356mb and this one is 337mb. Unless he modified some things and took it upon himself to release the rom with his name on it. Dont know and not pointing fingers just yet...

Yes. He talked to me on GTalk and told me he figured it out. I left out a line in the updater script... Either way.. Not sure but this could be the other port posted out there... I am sure he will let us know later when he is on. He told me he would be back on tonight after 11:00 est..

Screen rotation is the only bug I've found, and I've been using it all day, setting it up just how I like it.
edit: I also don't have the home button problem people have been having, the No SIM Card issue comes up after a reboot sometimes, rebooting again fixes it though.

Data is working, rotation is still screwy and this looks to indeed be racing's build... Thank you

That leaked screenshot is incomplete. It says nothing about going from K to Q, it just lists hardware, radio, and software combinations - note the many appearances of "or". There is text above that was clipped from the photo. My hopeful speculation is the missing piece is JRO03(VZW variant) that will update the listed HW/radio/SW combos.

Give the upload some time. Its roughly 520MB and just started to upload.

Thanks for the info. So I've downloaded it and just finished doing a backup. If I use TWRP to resore this 4.3 backup, will it work? I know I won't have access to Sprint signal and most other stuff, but will it at least allow me a glimpse into 4.3? Or is this dump strictly for developers to extract files from?
Basically, if you tell me it will brick my phone for sure then I won't do it, but I would like to do it and post screenshots of the new system...
Please Advise (lol)

Please be careful... I would advise you to not flash this.. It may brick out your phone. While I do see why you would want to, I would wait. Our talented developers are already on it..
