For real...another 2.2 Please Root Me thread???

yes because I am trying to bring the community together to complete this goal

The development and hacker community are already together.

Come together right now, over me!!

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please
Come together right now over me
Sorry but I could not resist... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8LZGQ4MkvQ
MrDSL beat me to it...LOL!!!

Posting a suggestion like that is not going to accomplish your goal (organizing a root effort) or help get 2.2 rooted any sooner.
You became the owner of this thread when you hit the "post new thread" button, you have the OP to do with as you wish. This thread isn't going to just start filling with reports of what people have tried. If you want this thread to serve as a "status-of 2.2" thread then find out what people have tried, try some methods yourself. Post the results of your searching and rooting attempts.
If this thread does become a place where people can come and see the current status of the rooting effort it will be because you keep the OP current.
I'm rooted, and I don't know enough to help blaze this trail. I know what a few people have tried and I know what methods some think are promising but I would like to see a breakdown, similar to THIS THREAD.. well, I WAS gonna link a 2.1 Root-Effort thread that was in the Hero forum before Regaw released his guide. I tried a half dozen searches (my search-fu is not weak) and all I found were a few rooting guides and a BILLION "ROOT???" threads...
Anyway, the guy had all of the methods that he had tried and others had submitted listed in detail along with the outcome of each attempt.
Also, I imagine a list like this would help cut down on the redundant threads.

The sticky thread is already hosting a discussion about this. Some of the Unrevoked team is even there.

If someone wants to help me pay for one (haha) I'll get in on it!

One question. I know there is currently no way to root stock 2.2 but does any one know if any of the amazing developers on here have made any ground at all or does it just not seem not possible.

[Q] ...How Do I root it?

Maybe I'm blind, but I'm searching all over the dev forum for the incredible 2, there are no official links that explain how to root the phone. Please help, thank you.

I would think that if have been searching you would have read that there is no way to do a software root. You probably would have also read that you can buy an XTC clip to achieve S=Off.

Is this just temporary or will there be a way to software s-off? I'm sorry I have been searching and reading I just don't understand I'm a noob the original incredible was easy to do cause I used unrevoked

Again, if you had been reading, you might have come across a thread that discusses the software method of S=Off.

link me please?

to answer your question... no there is no software unlock yet. It is coming, it has been verified to work and has been done to a few testers.
there is no ETA.
if you need it now, buy an xtc clip and you can unlock it immediately.
lastly, this should be in general, not development.

thanks brah

Sit tight bro. Root will be here soon enough. Add the the thread to your favorites this way you can stay up to date on any news. As for being a noob don't let some of these cats intimidate you with there snooty replies. I'm sure they were never noobs.

Yo thanks alot for the info guys, yeah the snootiness doesnt get to me, to each their own im sure there are a lot of things I could be anal about and act superior towards people who know less about it but that just shows lame character. Hopefully we'll get the software released soon, cheers.

There is life beyond the message board, you might want to have a look.

I understand that this is a matter of semantics, but the I2 was rooted long ago...with software. What we're lacking is an unlock to allow root to be permanent (persistent through reboots). You can root now and gain many of the benefits (and problems) of root if you really want to without paying a dime.
Now if you want to use custom firmwares, that requires unlocking. This can be done with a piece of hardware that is available now, or a piece of software that everyone is still waiting on.

I have done some searching and have found two possible routes. One is AlpharevX (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132920&page=40) and the other is with the Rebel XTC (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156534&page=5).
The sites are http://alpharev.nl/x/beta/, and http://www.xtcclip.com/.
AlphaRev is still beta though they claim no bricks reported so far. Since it is Beta you are supposed to interactively get a Beta key from their site to activate the software. This key is generated only if it 'likes' the serial number. The latter by the looks of it is a hardware tool which loads on your sd-card. If you go the alpha route then you must manually download and install the viow version of CWM! Still waiting for Unrevoked!

[Q] Really confused!!!!

So I'd very much like to root my phone. The problem is, I don't know where to start. I've been reading on how to do it, but I see all this lingo that I don't understand. I don't know what an Hboot is, or a fast boot or an RUU, or anything like that. Those are just letters to me. Do I start with s-off or what? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Found the noob corner.

Yeah man. That would be greatly appreciated. But I could probably save you the trouble. I'm running 2.3.4 Gingerbread. And I guess the only way I can root it is with an xpt clip? I think that's what its called. But, if you know something I don't (VERY likely) I'd very much like the info.

I think before you do anything, you should just read this forum for a week. Try to make yourself familiar with the words and what they mean, what root does for you, and so you don't completely destroy your phone.
I felt the same way as you when I wanted to root my phone, but I read and read and read. After I did all that reading, I read some more. THEN, I was finally ready to root.
It really is a very easy process once you get going though.

It's not code.. If you want to see code, decompile an application lol. I suggest just doing to research, the tutorials are VERY straight forward. And if you don;t understand what the directions are saying, get on an IIRC chat, or wait for knipp to help you. Root isn't worth bricking your phone.

Linux is an (awesome) OS alternative to Windows or OSX. A good beginner distribution is Ubuntu 11.10. Don't get overwhelmed- it sounds like you have some research to do. We all start somewhere, and google is your friend There's a lot of helpful people here who don't mind n00b questions, so learn as much as you can, then ask people anything you still can't figure out. (myself included)

Overwhelmed is definitely the right term. As for the OS, are you referring to the computer or phone? And I appreciate the help.

Well, Linux can be run on a lot of things. I was referring to the computer OS, but Android itself is built on linux too. That's why a lot of people develop with desktop linux. Check out Ox's noob corner sticky in the general section, and read through the posts- there are a lot of terms explained.

Watch...
Read - Why you get short/one word answers! (The Long Answer)

Been through all that stuff already...
As I have said before... why go to all the bother of posting the same stuff again and again?
I have spent the last 3 weeks looking around from site to site picking up bits here and there then eventually back to where I have started... albeit a little bit wiser...
I'm obviously missing something here...
Replying with this is as bad as spam.!... I have seen it on umpteen posts, over and over again, like a broken record.
If I had spent more time on the zx spectrum and the bbc which we had in 5th year before i left school I would not need to come on to this site..ha ha. but as we were not as lucky as you lot help is something that is greatly appreciated!
Rather than gloating how good I was, I would be coming on here to help rather than to belittle... otherwise what is the point of being a senior member with all this knowledge.
But this is something that comes with age... As we get older we realise....
Some day you will look back at yourself and think to yourself.
You will remember this post or some other that someone will surely post when frustrated with replys like this.

Read why you get short answers, because your lengthy reply clearly shows you haven't, and give the video another watch too, then you might understand why your thread about an existing thread is highly annoying.

Quite a few take the hint and grasp the point of XDA, then you get People like yourself who don't, and if you can't follow a simple tutorial that even has pictures, then you might as well give up.

As you can clearly see I've had quite a few.

Now you see how short a life you have had, when you have to use other peoples words...
And as for grasping things...The point...
Follow a simple thing and get so far and thats it..
Point.. We are here to learn, not just to have a phone... better than everyone else!!!
I, believe it or not am trying to learn but that is why we ask questions, albeit, stupid ones to you lot in the know!
Even the best of us will have to eventually ask a stupid question... It comes to us all... you will remember this!
You are so much in the know, then answer the question that I started with...
As most of the people that get through this initial test seem to be more helpful..
Maybe one day I will be able to help someone new as there will always be
And be a bit more constructive.

Try putting the same energy in to re reading the guide as you do with these argumentative posts and you might get somewhere.

Looking at these posts I can see and have learnt quite a lot actually...
It dosent take a lot to work out that if one neewbe gives you 10 thanks, as I have, for thinking and being polite that somebody actually replied,
do a bit of multiplication and you soon realise... 900 thanks doesnt actually say a lot....
especially if what you are sending people work done by somebody else....
I, after 3 weeks could go from page to page looking for newbees and feed them this stuff... the same stuff over and over again.
Since all you are doing is this, can, as I see, you never seem to answer any questions directly.
Which to me implys that you are no better than us newbees really.... unless you can prove otherwise... but I very much doubt.

Two if you search you will find the root method right here that works on all versions, we don't like to spoon feed , when you have problem or stuck many will help, you ask how to do something that has been asked 100 times and already available, well you asked for it.
Three learn how to ask help, simply writing can someone point me to the root post will make many to post, instead of you writing all this useless crap.
Four simple looking not even searching will made you see these...

which is asked 100 time and seen by your eyes you would have know where to send someone instead of posting that humiliating note to the other user. I think it would have taken less energy and would have made a difference instead of being a negative experience to the novice.
by the way that is the link to the root method and instructions on how to do it. and here is the link for the you tube video on how to do it step by step…

I did that because you pointed towards kimitza, now he might not be correct all the time, his answers might be rude, but he is the one answering most of the queries here, plus don't know how many private messages he might be getting.
Think this way, if i talk about me, I'm here for 4 years answering same type of questions for different devices all those years, and i usually jump in the post if some one didn't replied for some time, instead some people will post to every question when they see it, they are bound to get agitated over time.
