[Q] Rooting problem - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

I have been trying to root this Dinc2 and have had nothing but trouble. I HTC dev unlocked it, then read the instructions and relocked it.
I would appreciate any help.
Here is the first step where I am getting an error.

TacoRoot: HTC Edition v1
By Justin Case (jcase)
Presented by TeamAndIRC, RootzWiki and AndroidPolice
With great assistance from Reid Holland (Erishasnobattery)
----------
TacoRoot: HTC Edition v1 is based on a vulnerability independently discovered by
both Justin Case and Dan Rosenberg (Rosenberg first). I believe unrevoked and
AlpahRev were also aware of it.
----------
Usage:
--recovery : For this exploit to work, you must have booted recovery at least on
ce after your last factory reset.
--setup : Setup the phone for root, must be done before --root.
--root : Root the phone.
--undo : Remove TacoRoot.
----------
Rebooting into recovery, please press Volume+, Volume- and Power at the same tim
e, and reboot the system.
rm failed for /data/data/recovery/log, No such file or directory
link failed No such file or directory
Thanks again.

Which guide you following? Mine? Try running "tacoroot.sh --recovery" then continue with --setup.

Yes, thanks for your guide, it is very thorough.

Run "adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.sh --recovery," hit VolUp+Power at the exclamation mark, then VolUp+VolDown+Power to reboot, then continue the guide with "adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.sh --setup." Let me know if it works.

I never get the red exclamation point. Could the fact that I installed Clockworkmod recovery before rooting have something to do with it?

How did you install stock recovery?

I was htcdev unlocked and tried following prototype7's guide on how to downgrade from that section but couldn't get it work. I was browsing and came across this thread so i relocked my phone, and I'm having the exact same issue he had. Although I don't know how to reinstall stock recovery, can someone direct me to the correct thread to do that after I reunlock myphone ._.

Well this is broken till flar gets back to me with a write protect disable module. The kernel itself prevents writing to system. So no root method will work besides flashing a recovery. Can't finish recovery till module is built. HTC likes locking their stuff down now

if for some reason supersu says su isn't installed, try a root app and see if you get prompted for root access
i have and download the binary from the app , later the app doesnt have root rights
Me and another user (who pm'd me) are having a bit of trouble here. After following the steps SuperSU is reporting that "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. There is a problem!" It does appear to grant permission to other apps (tried su in terminal) but doesn't seem to actually be giving permission, terminal just hangs. Root Checker hangs as well. Any ideas?

after reboot same message

trying to finish the rooting process and get s-off

using this wonderful guide:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771755
I got to here:Step 38. Your phone should now say “LOCKED (OOW)”. And should check for the PC36IMG.zip file. If it doesn’t (which happened to me), try using another micro-SD card or format your micro-SD card and repeat from Step 36.
As soon as the bootloader searches for pc36img.zip the bootloader freezes, (i let it sit for a half hour just to be sure) I did try google and the search on the forums. (maybe I word things poorly with searches as I can never find what im looking for, I'm sure I'm not the only person to have this issue) if someone has the link to the thread of this problem i would be grateful and happy to read it. If i am the first to experience this problem help would be appreciated.
This guide is rather helpful:
http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...-18-HBOOT-with-HTCDev-com-No-More-Watermark!-)
Look through it and make sure that you went through all the steps correctly. Also, you might want to try and download the file again. Make sure that you don't have an extra .zip extension on the PC36IMG file name, and that the file itself is on the root of your SD card.
I've used the guide in the link above to root and S-off several EVO's and I've never encountered the issue you're reporting.

The Htcdev bootloader unlock is Hboot dependent, and you should try a stock gingerbread Rom for the S-OFF to work. I received that same error before on a AOSP Rom.

[Q] Gingerbreak continues to process, no Reboot

Gingerbreak has been running now for 45 minutes now. Is that normal? Should I just continue to let Gingerbreak process?

Ok, fellas. I tried several times with GingerBreak, but to no avail. I then moved on to SuperOneClick and was successful in obtaining superuser privileges. Now onto the next step: flashing kamesh's and antdking's p350 toolkit, and making a Nandroid.
Yea
Use antdking toolkit it's better

hehe, I couldn't help but do it the old fashioned way. I used the adb shell, although I was unable to get the $ su. I just entered adb shell su. So, now I have my recovery flashed. I immediately made a Nandroid and I am about to check the integrity of: the back up.

What did the previous owner flash? (run?) Are you able to select and boot into Recovery from the Bootloader? If so, boot into recovery and Factory Reset or re-flash your ROM.
Sorry auto correct got me it was ruu not run and no it will not go into recovery I select it and it goes for 1 second then kicks me back to bootloader
I don't have any experience high HTC so I'm stuck

Try reflashing TWRP recovery in fastboot and see if you can then boot into recovery. Or you can try to reflash RUU or even just the boot.img. I am not a super expert on this, so hopefully someone will chime in.

Looks like he may be screwed. It says locked and s-on. He can't flash a recovery. If there's no ROM installed, you can't exactly use rumrunner. Might need to send it to sonic.

Unfortunately, might be. Odd that it was working fine, what would possess someone to try and flash the RUU? Anyway, if you tried flashing recovery, did you try and flash the system.img, boot.img and recovery_signed.img into their respective slots?
You should be able to find the files from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437436
You will just need to unzip and extract those files, then flash them in fastboot to their respective partitions.
Other then that, I would say your bricked unless, like what tylerlawhon said, you can see if you can send it to sonic to s-off again.
You could maybe also try reading through this if the previous didn't work, I know it says must be s-off and unlocked, but possibly worth a read

Else I don't know, at best I could only check once I get home to see what it's like for me on my terminal. Hopefully someone can help you before that though, I'll only be home in like 6 - 7 hours
have you rooted the device before this?

Doesn't work either. You have to unlock the bootloader, flash the custom recovery and then root it. You can then go through the S-OFF guide

I can't, it all worked fine for me so I've not had to do it since. All I can say is follow the guide on the firewater site to the letter...
Taken from http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/
Ensure device is booted to android with usb debugging enabled.
USB 2.0 ports are preferred.
You should not be connected using any hubs which may cause connectivity issues
Ensure that lock screen security is disabled on your device.
no passcode lock
no pattern lock
no face lock
Download firewater HERE
Push, Prepare, and Execute firewater:
adb reboot <–important!!!!
adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp
adb shell
su
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
/data/local/tmp/firewater
Agree to the terms and conditions you are prompted with
Allow the exploit to do its work.
Profit
