My other thread got screwed up. So, I just thought it would be easier to re-write it all over.
Some warnings:
-This is not a FULL unlock (S-OFF or to unlock your SIM card slot.)
-This WILL VOID your warranty.
-This will work with ANY version of HBOOT. Unless something has changed and I never update.........
-This is a how to for WINDOWS ONLY. Sorry Mac, Linux, and Unix. If someone knows how to do it VIA those ways, I'll add it in here.
-If you are logged out of HTC Dev at any time during the identifier period (1 - 5), just sign back in and don't click anything. It will automatically redirect you to the last page you were on.
-I am not responsible if you didn't follow a step correctly and your phone lights on fire, cracks into two, wants to destroy you, etc...
If you like to learn visually (like me) and would rather not go through my jumble of steps, check out this YouTube video. [link]
What you are going to need:
-A computer
-Fastboot and ADB [API] - [link] <-- These are applications I use to flash ROM's. They are in a .zip from me.
-HTC Drivers - [link] <-- Drivers HTC gives, couldn't find them on HTC's site.
-Android SDK - [link]
-microUSB cable, phone, and some time
STEPS TO ROOT: finally...
1.) You are going to want to head over to the HTC Dev[eloper] site ([link]) and make an account or sign in. Once you have done one of the two, you are going to want to click 'Unlock Bootloader,' then 'Get Started.' It will next ask you what device you are trying to unlock, click 'Droid Incredible 2 (Verizon)' then 'Begin Unlock Bootloader.' Then a pop up window will ask you if you are sure, just click 'Yes.' Then, another pop up window will appear, just tick the two boxes and press 'Proceed to Unlock Instructions.'
2.) Go to your phone. Take off the [back] battery door and remove the battery (don't hold the power button and make it a proper shut off, just rip the battery out. Then, put the battery back in. Once you have replaced the battery, hold the volume down button and the power button at the same time until a white screen shows up. You can use the volume rocker to highlight your selection, and the power button to select the highlighted selection. Right now, we want to highlight 'BOOTLOADER' and use the power button to select it. Next, grab your miniUSB cable and plug it into your computer to your phone.
3.) Next, make a folder on your computer in the C:\ Drive. In Windows Vista & 7, you can just go to Computer from the Start Menu and it will be labeled Local Disk (C:\). You can name the folder whatever you want, I am just going to name it Android. Next, you are going to want to download my ADB, Fastboot, and ADBAPI .zip file and place all three files into the Android folder. After you unzip the ADB/Fastboot folder, you are going to want to (if you have not already) download and install the Android SDK manager. You will need to install SDK tools [and I believe a version of Android?] After you have installed everything, you can go to the Start Menu again and type in 'cmd' in the search bar and press enter. Then type in the following: (Or you could take the easy way of going to your C:\ drive and shift-clicking the folder and press 'Open Command Window Here...)
Code:
cd C:\Android
4.) After you have got into Command Prompt and are in the \Android folder, type in the following:
Code:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
You will then see a great big brick of random characters. Right click in the bottom right-hand corner of '<<<<< Identifier Token End >>>>>' and click 'Mark...' Hold down the left-mouse-button and select the great brick of text up until '<<<< Identifier Token Start >>>>' (don't highlight any of the 'INFO' things.) Then, right-click again and you will have the identifier token copied to your clipboard. Back on the HTC Dev site, it will ask you for your identifier; just paste the identifier in the box and it will send you an email with a .bin file (Unlock_code.bin) and just throw that into the folder with ADB and Fastboot.
5.) You are going to want to click the continue link that HTC Dev sent you as well to downloading the file. After you have finished downloading and put it in the folder, type in the following:
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Once you have done that and pressed Enter, your phone will change screens. It will ask you if you are SURE you want to do this. Just press the volume rocker up and press the power button. Your phone will reboot and take you back to Android. It's normal and it doesn't mean it failed... Your phone is fine and it should have went OK if you followed the steps. We are done with HTC Dev now, so you can close it.
6.) Next thing we are going to want to do is flash ClockWorkMod (CWM) Recovery onto your phone. You are going to want to download the .iso for CWMR and flash it to your phone (download link [link].) After you are done downloading the .iso, place it into your ADB and Fastboot folder. Once your phone has finished starting up, take the battery out again and put it back into HBOOT mode (step 2.) You are going to want to go back into FASTBOOT (step 2, again) and flash the recovery by doing the following:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery(press TAB)
Once you press enter and fastboot says it has completed, it will just have the Fastboot screen. Just highlight 'Bootloader' and press the power button. Next, to make sure it worked... Scroll down to 'Recovery' (which is right under Fastboot) and select it. The HTC screen should show and then CWMR should come to life.
7.) This is where the real magic happens. We are going to install SuperUser on to your phone now. Reboot your phone into regular Android. Now, you can plug it into the computer and make it a disk drive or pop out the miniSD card and put it into a converter. Now, you are going to want to download SuperUser ([link] - make sure your scroll down to the .zip dowload) and put it onto the miniSD (I recommend not putting it in any folders so it is easy to find.) Now, put your phone back into CWMR (step 6.) Now, use the volume rocker to scroll down to 'install .zip from sd card' and press the power button. Now, find the SuperUser.zip (or whatever it is named) and press the power button. The 'yes' to install it is in the middle of all the 'no' options, use the volume rocker to select 'yes' and press the power button. Wait for CWMR to finish, and in the meantime... Just stare at your phone. After you have finished installing SuperUser, restart your handset into Android. Once it has finished restarting, go into the app drawer and find the SuperUser app. Press the 'menu' button and tap 'Settings.' Scroll down to 'Su Binary x.x.xx' and tap it. On the bottom it will say 'Update Binary,' just tap that and it will do its 'magic.' Once SU has finished updating Binary, you have a rooted DINC2.

Updated post. Finished the guide. Hope you guys enjoy.
thanks for your guide - I'm needing to get something fresh on my wife's DI2...and I'm not as savvy with the HTCs as I am with my GNex.
The problem I have initially run into is the JDK - I have it installed....but whenever I try to install the Android SDK, the installer tells me that it does not recognize an installed JDK...
Also, I did notice that your Fastbook & ADB link is not active - is it obsolete now?
Thanks again, hopefully I can get this puppy running smoothly soon

Android SDK includes fastboot and adb, so it isn't necessary. Are you sure you have the JDK installed? What version? I know OpenJDK was giving me trouble so I had to switch to the official JDK.

Yep, just tried to reinstall 7u7 from the oracle site....no dice with SDK. Weird. I'll try with another PC to see if my laptop just licks
I added the ADB and Fastboot link, I thought it was already added... So, that is my fault. And like prototype said, Android SDK also includes ADB and Fastboot. Hope the best to your wife and the phone.

This isn't for a SIM CARD tray unlock. It's just to root you phone and get ROMS and SU apps on it. Look around for a SIM unlock.

In my download folder this shows up as an image file, is this right?
Does this mean that C: Android folder I created in the beginning of the guide? If not, where am I supposed to place it?
Does flashing it to my phone mean simply copy/pasting this cwm image file into the adb and fastboot folder?
Sorry guys I've been lurking for weeks. Successfully rooted my galaxy nexus and that was a breeze compared to this!

English equivalent: "fastboot" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
That's happening since you're still in the Administrator's directory - C:\Documents and Settings\Administrador\.
You need to use the "cd" command to change to the directory where you downloaded fastboot. Then you'll be able to use that command.
Ok thanks i try this bro :thumbup:

Just because Android is flashed on the phone instead of WinMo doesn't do magic. It will probably perform the same as from SD-card in case of problems. I believe R/W speed is somewhat faster from nand (different type of ROM than SD-card).
Edit. Besides, isn't there still some problems with nand on GSM phones?
Please fill me in here...

Not that i would really be in android/nand/... but i noticed this debate. The problem is that there were just too many false prophets with no results. I would rather recomend a donation to download (like xming) so people can donate for results not for good wishes.

what guide are you using? the recovery img has to be in the same folder as fastboot unless you point it towards a different folder
In the same boat as the OP, I've done everything right and I get this error message in cmd with the black screen and white HTC text.
BTW OP - You can go back to using your phone. Take out the battery (with the usb plug out of the phone or computer) and put it back in and turn the phone on normally. You'll just have to go through the process again of fastboot oem rebootRUU to get back to the black screen with white HTC text.
I'm using the CyanogenMod Wiki HTC Incredible 2 Full Update Guide (since I cannot link it in my post), I dunno what the OP is using. Also, the recovery file is in the appropriate location(s) in the android-sdk-windows folder.
im using the cyanogenmod wiki and i tried putting the recovery image for clockwork into the same folder as fastboot and adb and it still gives me that error and i dont have the technical savvy to figure this out
edit: that would be the platform-tools folder in the android sdk folder, thats what i found people did by googling this
and to finalassault, i took out my battery and tried turning it back on normally i just get stuck at the white screen with the green htc lettering so i clearly messed something up unless i just have to wait a few minutes
Try this guide. Use the clockwork image attached instead of the one from the CM7 guide.

Same error, except it's just coming up as not able to load this file instead of the other one. Maybe I possibly screwed up whilst doing AlphaRev?
Edit - I just did it a different way and I didn't get an error message:
sending 'recovery' (5022 KB)...
OKAY [ 25.776s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 2.254s]
finished. total time: 28.030s
I guess that worked.
Edit 2 - It "worked" but didn't really do anything else. Might have done something wrong on the AlphaRev step. Actually I'll shut up now, something else showed up.
Edit 3 and final edit - Done and done. That was fun.
how did you get it too work???

It sounds like you may have borked your stock rom....if you can boot to hboot and select fastboot then you should be able to flash the CWM from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=14947083
Follow the instructions on the link not the one from CM Wiki. Make sure you have fastboot.exe and CWM image from the link in the same folder as your adb. If you're using windows 7 64bit then you'll need to run adb in compatability mode (at least that's what I had to do to get it working in 64bit).
You should then be able to flash a rooted, deodexed stock froyo sense rom from this link by Jcase http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138274 or use XGunthers Incredibly Debloated Rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138202
That should get you up and runnning. Or you could just jump straight into the GB ASOP roms CM7, MIUI, etc.
Let me know if this works for you....
the first link comes up as 404, appreciate the help
also not quite sure what the compatibility mode is for the adb, kind of a noob here =/
edit: got it in compatibility mode, i suppose i didnt install it right because it looks like it does something for a few seconds then seems to stop

It's okay don't worry...I'm pretty new to this stuff too since I just got into rooting about 2 weeks ago.
Compatability mode is an option in windows 7. Right click on the adb.exe file and select Properties. Once that comes up, you'll need to select the compatability tab on top and choose run in 'Windows XP Service Pack 2' mode (sorry I'm at work and don't have access to my win7 machine). Then click ok and it should run in compatability mode.
Then just follow the flash instructions from the link drcrawfo posted up and you should be good to go!
yea i got the compatibility mode, i must have messed something up pretty bad because adb and fastboot dont seem to do much, they go through a quick thing in the command prompt then dont seem to be active after that, also still cant flash clockworkmod
ok so idk why but i decided to try taking out the sd card and then when i did the flash recovery cwm thing a whole list of commands came up in the command prompt and i have no clue if thats good or bad or what command i should pick
ill list a few just to see if that helps you guys in helping me out
update <filename>
flashhall
flash <partition> [ <filename> ]
and a few more then there were options that followed
edit: and now for somereason it doesnt flash again but if i do fastboot recovery i still get all those options so is there a way to get the cwm to flash through that way

Hmmm..so you have all your files setup in the same folder and when running the commands from cmd they don't do anything? Does it saying anything is being sent?
This may be beyond my expertise. Have you tried posting in the clockwork mod thread in the development section?
Sent from my Incredible 2
I just want to mention that I didn't end up using the exact commands that are given from the wiki, that didn't seem to work for me. I had to mess around with it (including manually pointing cmd to where it was) to get it to work for me. Had all of the drivers, SDK stuff, the path and everything where they should have been. I hope you get this resolved.
nothing is working out for me this is not fun
same boat as you simple but I can still use my phone. I just gave up as none of the methods seemed to work.

You need to open a command window, change the working directory to where adb/fastboot are located and then type adb.exe at the command prompt.
It sounds like you are trying to double-click the adb.exe from Windows Explorer.
yea i was double clicking, im not too savvy with this stuff, how do you change the directory and all that
The purpose of this guide is to walk you through the process of rooting your phone running 2.3.3 ONLY! I will do the best I can to make this as painless as possible and help you achieve your goals of S-Off.
***THIS THREAD IS ONLY FOR OBTAINING S-OFF, OBTAINING ROOT, AND INSTALLING CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY! ANY QUESTION REGARDING INSTALLING ROMS DO NOT BELONG HERE AND WILL NOT BE ANSWERED! ONLY ISSUES REGARDING ROOT WILL BE ANSWERED BY MYSELF OR OTHER MEMBERS.***
What you will need: (** = File is attached to OP)
Windows XP or higher (Thats all I have, someone else with MAC and/or Linux will need to assist and I can add it to the OP)
http://revolutionary.io/ .:UPDATE:. PRE4 now available
This site is where you will download the rooting tools and obtain a beta key. When you click on the download button for your OS, make sure you view the box that pops up requesting your OS version, phone model, HBoot version, and phone serial number. Without doing this you cannot root your phone so do it or you are screwed. There are two ways to get your phone serial number: 1) Remove the battery and look at the white sticker or 2) On your phone, go to Settings -> About Phone -> Phone Identity and under Device Serial Number you will see it. After you receive your code COPY AND PASTE it onto a word document or notepad because there are times when you will get confused with the font type from the Revolutionary site. Example, in my beta key, the lower case L looks exactly like the capital I and it threw me off. Also, the key IS case sensitive so keep that in mind.
If running windows, you will need these drivers:
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
If running Linux, reports show that you do not need any drivers.
If running Mac OS, I currently do not know so someone please let me know and I will update.

This file is required to obtain ROOT AFTER you have S-Off.

These two items are in case Revolutionary tool fails to install CWM on your phone OR if you want to do this offline at another location. Fastboot and abd tool is the software that will take the img file of CWM and flash it onto your phone after S-OFF is obtained.
Prepping your Phone:
Turn off FAST BOOT in the settings located: SETTINGS -> POWER
Turn on Unknown Sources: SETTINGS -> APPLICATIONS
Turn on USB Debugging: SETTINGS -> APPLICATIONTS -> DEVELOPMENT
Installing Root:
1 - First, install the HTC drivers on your computer. It is a very simple step and you should have no issues doing this at all. Also look at your installed programs list and confirm HTC Sync is not installed. This will stop your device from being detected by Revolutionary to other problems when rooting.
2 - Extract the Fastboot and ABD zip file onto the root of your local disk drive (ex. C:\android-win-tools )
3 - Copy/Cut and Paste the CWM img file into the Fastboot and ABD folder (ex. C:\android-win-tools\cwm-4.0.1.4-vivow.img) Doing this will prep your PC to flash CWM in the event the Revolutionary tool does not download and install it.
4 - Place phone in "Disk Drive" mode then Copy/Cut and Paste the root su zip file (do not extract it) onto the root of your SDCard on your phone (ex. x:\su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip )
5 - Place phone in "Charge Only" mode. A lot ot people run into issues and not realize this was not selected.
6 - Run the Revolutionary file now that everything is set to go.
7 - You will get a prompt to enter your beta code. This is the code you received when you downloaded the revolutionary file and entered the information to obtain the beta key.
8 - Sit back and WAIT while the application does what is needed. This process will take anywhere from 3 to 5minutes so be PATIENT.
9 - Upon completion, you will get a prompt to install CWM. Say yes here! Once done skip to step 10.
9a - If the revolutionary app crashes or fails to download/install, leave your phone in the state it is (HBoot mode and should say "Fastboot USB". Open a command prompt in windows (Start - Run - type CMD).
9b - If you did exactly as told, type "CD.." until you see "C:\"
9c - Type the following:
CD android-win-tools
fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-vivow.img
9d - This process takes about 30sec max. Almost done!!!
10 - On your phone, back track to the main menu of HBoot using the volume keys and Power button and select recovery (2nd Option). In a few seconds your will be in CWM.
11 - As long as you copied the signed zip file to the root of your sdcard, perform the following:
"Install Zip From SDCard" (5th Option)
"Choose Zip From SDCard" (2nd Option)
Select the root/su zip file (su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip)
Choose Yes and wait.
Back track to main menu and reboot
12 - Give yourself a pat on the back for paying attention and have a cookie!
I am typing this on my tablet/phone/pc so if an error exists, please let me know right away and I will update the OP. Again, questions here are ONLY for rooting. Anything else...kick yourself in the head, do a real search, and post if needed.

NICE, this thread should be sticky.
On a side note, make sure you have your phone connected to wifi or 3G if you want the revolutionary tool to download and install the CWM automatically. If not then you would have to flash the CWM manually per the instruction from OP.

Mmk. I downloaded ROM Manager but everytime i start it up it says "You must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su/" or "system/xbin/su"
I have the file on the root of the sdcard and im pretty sure i rooted it with revolutionary and installed CWM as well.
Ok... Dumb question... where do we find the fastboot and adb zips to install on the C drive??
I have gotten thru step 8 and failed whentrying to install CWM. I manually installed it with step 9 and it said finished. Step 10 says to select recovery but it is not listed. I rebooted to see if that would work but it didnt. Where did I go wrong?
EDIT: Actually it did work just was trying to hard. Thanks for the great instructions.
@ Darkpsycho0
try installing busybox from the market and give it a try again.
@PacerguyDon
The links are in the OP.
It's next to the one that has the img file as well. There is only one zip file and it contains both items in it.
@Flightmed
Power down, and get back into HBoot. You will see the following options:
Fastboot
Recovery
Factory Reset
Simlock
Hboot Usb
Image CRC
The second option (Recovery) is what you want.
EDIT: Glad you got it working!!!

Busybox said "Root not found! The su binary was not found on your phone." -_____-
Thinking about it and looking back...I didn't complete the instructions on applying root. I apologize to you and everyone else.
When you have CWM installed, open it up through recovery. Next, as long as you copied the signed zip file to the root of your sdcard, select "Install Zip From SDCard" (5th Option).
Select "Choose Zip from SDCard" (2nd Option)
Select the zip file (su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip)
Choose Yes and wait. Once done, reboot and you should be good!
Again, I apologize. I will update main post asap!

That worked.. no more error thanks. I was about to throw my phone across the room especially since while i was waiting for replies I was trying to just install new themes but can't get Astros to work with the apk files correctly. -_- (still can't)
I'm already rooted via 2.2 but this is a great guide for the truly n00b.
Should be seeing lots of new members posting in the development section soon ;!)
[highlight]IMPORTANT! DATA LOSS![/highlight] For security purposes, this process will delete everything on your phone, including everything on the internal sd card! If you haven't backed up, do so now! Any pictures, videos, and documents not backed up will be unrecoverable...
First things first... This is mostly adapted from this guide by loveubuntu. Many Thanks!
[highlight]WARNING:[/highlight] Rooting your device probably violates your provider's acceptable use policy. It also voids your warranty. If you damage your device while following this guide, you are responsible!
That said, this process worked for me, without any problems.
[size=+2]Install the Java SDK[/size]
You may not need to do this if you're on a version before 10.7 (Lion)... I'm not sure.
You'll need an Apple Developer account, but they're free... Go to the Apple Developer Download page. The current version for Lion at the time of this writing is Java for OS X 2012-003.
Download and install.
[size=+2]Download and Setup Android SDK[/size]
Download the Android SDK. Make sure you get the one for Mac OSX.
Open the file to unzip it. For convenience, move the folder to your home directory. Open terminal and use the following command. You can leave terminal open... We'll be using it again, and again, and again...
Code:
mv Downloads/android-sdk-macosx ~
[size=+2]Get Connected[/size]
On your phone:
Open Settings | Developer Options
Turn on USB Debugging
Plug your phone into your mac.
In terminal, on your mac, run the following commands:
Code:
cd ~/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools
adb devices
You should see your phone's serial number. If not, make sure everything is installed correctly and your phone is connected correctly.
[size=+2]Download Files[/size]
Download the latest Touch Recovery from ClockworkMod. Be sure to get the one for Google Galaxy Nexus (Verizon).
Download su.zip.
[size=+2]Unlock your Phone[/size]
Here's the part where you void your warranty and wipe your phone, so... here come the warnings again...
[highlight]IMPORTANT! DATA LOSS![/highlight] For security purposes, this process will delete everything on your phone, including everything on the internal sd card! If you haven't backed up, do so now! Any pictures, videos, and documents not backed up will be unrecoverable...
[highlight]WARNING:[/highlight] Rooting your device probably violates your provider's acceptable use policy. It also voids your warranty. If you damage your device while following this guide, you are responsible!
Turn off your phone (Are you sure you've backed up everything important on your phone???).
Hold Volume Up and Volume Down while pressing the power button to turn your phone on. Let go of the power button when the phone vibrates, but keep holding the volume buttons until you see stuff on the screen.
You should now see a big arrow and some text on your screen. The bottom line is the lock state. Congratulations, you're in the bootloader.
[highlight]Are you sure you backed everything up? Last chance...[/highlight]
If you're not plugged into your mac still, hook it up and run the following command in your terminal.
Code:
fastboot devices
You should see your phone's serial number, just like you did with adb (which doesn't work in the bootloader, of course).
[highlight]Okay, this is really your last chance. Backup any data you don't want to lose. The next command will erase everything.[/highlight]
Run the following command in terminal:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Use the volume up button on your phone to select YES and press the power button to accept.
Including the following, since I probably did it... Not sure if it is entirely necessary:
Use the volume up to change the value appearing in the arrow to recovery and press the power button to accept. You are taken to laying down android with a red triangle. This is the stock recovery. Now carefully press the volume up, volume down, and the power button to get to a menu. Choose wipe data and factory reset. 2 things: I had a hard time getting to the menu. Do it a few times and try pressing the power button JUST a fraction of a second earlier than the 2 volume buttons. Also wiping and resetting takes a few minutes, be patient.
[size=+2]Flash CWM Recovery[/size]
Well, if you made it this far, you've already voided your warranty and wiped your phone... why stop now?
Turn the phone off (pull battery if necessary). Boot back into the bootloader by holding the volume buttons and power again (see previous step, if you forgot how). Connect to your mac, if you're not still connected and run the following in terminal:
Code:
fastboot devices
See your device? Great! Now let's flash ClockworkMod Recovery. If you haven't moved it, it'll be in your downloads directory. You can run the following from terminal (the version may have changed, so double check):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery ~/Downloads/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-toro.img
[size=+2]Get Root[/size]
You're still in the bootloader, right? If not, get there and use the volume keys to select recovery. Press power to open it. Yay! CWM Touch! FTW
Okay, reboot and allow Android to create the folder structure it needs. When you get to the welcome screen, pull the battery to shutdown and boot back into the bootloader (you should be a pro at this by now). Use the volume keys to select recovery and power to get there.
If you're not connected to your mac, do so and run the following:
Code:
adb push ~/Downloads/su.zip /data/media
Yep, adb works in recovery... This just transfers the file to the root of your internal sd card.
Now run:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Now use the menus to install su.zip. Choose zip from sd card, su.zip, etc... oh yea, and it's touchscreen.
Congratulations! You now have full administrator permissions on your phone.
[size=+2]Install Helpful Tools from Play Store[/size]
Boot your phone normally and go through the whole activation and getting started process.
Then install some tools that will help, now that you have a rooted phone. Just open the play store and search for rom manager. This is made by ClockworkMod and it works great with their recovery. Next you'll want to search for titanium backup. This will allow you to backup application data to help make loading new roms a little less of a hassle. There are free and paid versions of both of these apps. The paid versions give you more functionality, as well as, no ads.
Last, install solid explorer beta (or some other file manager). We need it for the last step.
Also, while you're in the play store, go ahead and update superuser if there is an update available.
[size=+2]Delete recovery.sh[/size]
Your phone may have a file called recovery.sh, which will flash the default recovery on reboot if you don't get rid of it.
Open Solid Explorer Beta.
Tap the Jump button at the bottom of the screen. Then Device and System Root.
Open the system folder, then open etc.
Scroll down and look for recovery.sh. If it doesn't exist, no worries... If it does, tap and hold on it, then either rename or delete it, whichever your more comfortable with.
That's it! Your unlocked and rooted. You can enjoy many benefits from just this process.
However, if you want a real benefit. Find a nice ROM and flash it using ROM Manager or by rebooting into the recovery if you need to install 2 zips, like most require. I'd like to recommend TeamBAMF.
Nice guide! I just did this myself like 2 days ago (with my replacement phone). It was really fun, I already had SDK set up n stuff though.
yes very nice guide, i hate switching between my pc & mac for just my phone.
i wonder if there is a way to do this w/o Java.
I'm pretty sure the platform tools are coded in Java, but we're not compiling anything... You may just need the jre. I already had the ask installed...
Wouldn't hurt to try.

first of all i want to say that I almost know nothing about rooting and stuff.
I rooted my phone with the all-in-one toolkit and actually didn't know what I was doing. I was just clicking next and did what the screen told me to do. Everything went great and i had no problems until know. I downloaded and flashed the venom dotview tweak but it didn't work and the normal dot view which I reinstalled also didnt work so I decided to do a recovery from the settings app. it was really stupid to do that beacause my softkeys and statusbar are gone know and the flashed apps are still there. Is there a way to have my phone like it was when I bought it? I don't need a root anymore, I just want my phone getting to work normal.
Thanks

Restore you stock ROM nandroid. Look for it in here COLLECTION of Stock backup's seeing as you really didn't bother to provide us with the relevant and more important information such as the CID and Main software version you were on before you decided to mess your phone up and I doubt you made a backup of your device before doing it.
Is your phone still recognized by a pc?
If so, just load another ROM on your sd card.. Wipe everything and flash through recovery. You'll lose all your data, but your phone will be back.
Since you are new to this - CONGRATS! You just learned the most important rule of flashing. Always make a backup first!
Good luck man. It's an easy fix.
I guess I will be the "bad guy" but why are you messing with your phone when you have no clue what you are doing?
Everyone starts somewhere. Im sure we all learned a lot of what we know now by making lots of stupid mistakes. This logic rings true for life... not just phones.

This is why you shouldn't use all in one toolkits, you don't learn anything like that and if you're not willing to learn then you probably shouldn't mess around with these things in the first place, expect others to then fix the problems for you. I'm not trying to be mean here, just stating fact.
Download the Android SDK
After downloading, extract the .zip file. Then go into folder inside the sdk folder you'll find a folder named "platform-tools" right click that folder and copy it on your desktop(Ease of access). Inside that platform-tools folder you'll find the applications adb and fastboot.
Download HTC Sync Manager in order to install the drivers(If you haven't done so already and just to be sure).
Download custom recovery, either Philz CWM Recovery or TWRP Recovery . Place the downloaded .img recovery file inside the platform-tools folder.
Make sure your phone has USB-Debugging enabled, if you don't have developer mode on phone. Go to Settings > About > Software Information > More > Tap 7times on Build Number. This will enable developer options. Go back to Settings and scroll down to Developer Options, open it and enable USB Debugging.
Connect your phone to the PC, make sure to accept any prompts that might appear on the phone then inside the platform-tools folder, hold shift then right click, then select "Open Command prompt here". Type adb devices if adb picks up your device it'll show you your devices serial number. Next type adb reboot bootloader to boot into bootloader mode then type fastboot devices again just to make sure the device is connected and being picked up by the prompt. Type fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_you_downloaded.img MAKE SURE you type in the correct name for the recovery, exactly the same!!!
When it's done, flash ROM of your choice.
I'm a beginner too, but I learnt loads from watching videos from a channel called Sakitech on YouTube. I watched them over a few times to understand the process before doing anything.
Unlook bootloader:

Good choice on the videos, these days reading is a bit to tedious for most people. Heck, they don't even read "STOP" on the STOP signs anymore, just drive straight past
I have a super short attention span so I need YouTube to learn anything in life lol.

Good luck at school then and later on in your job
Lucky boy having such a commited community here. You could've quite easily ended up with a £600 paper weight. Might want to show some appreciation to everyone holding your hand through a process that you should've read about before doing anything. Must admit, I did like the 'I just kept hitting next without knowing what I was doing', that's probably the best thing I've read lol lol.

This is why you shouldn't use all in one toolkits, you don't learn anything like that and if you're not willing to learn then you probably shouldn't mess around with these things in the first place, expect others to then fix the problems for you. I'm not trying to be mean here, just stating fact.
Download the Android SDK
After downloading, extract the .zip file. Then go into folder inside the sdk folder you'll find a folder named "platform-tools" right click that folder and copy it on your desktop(Ease of access). Inside that platform-tools folder you'll find the applications adb and fastboot.
Download HTC Sync Manager in order to install the drivers(If you haven't done so already and just to be sure).
Download custom recovery, either Philz CWM Recovery or TWRP Recovery . Place the downloaded .img recovery file inside the platform-tools folder.
Make sure your phone has USB-Debugging enabled, if you don't have developer mode on phone. Go to Settings > About > Software Information > More > Tap 7times on Build Number. This will enable developer options. Go back to Settings and scroll down to Developer Options, open it and enable USB Debugging.
Connect your phone to the PC, make sure to accept any prompts that might appear on the phone then inside the platform-tools folder, hold shift then right click, then select "Open Command prompt here". Type adb devices if adb picks up your device it'll show you your devices serial number. Next type adb reboot bootloader to boot into bootloader mode then type fastboot devices again just to make sure the device is connected and being picked up by the prompt. Type fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_you_downloaded.img MAKE SURE you type in the correct name for the recovery, exactly the same!!!

I have one problem. Since I don't have the notification bar anymore, the phone doesn't notificate me. How will I get the USB notification to work?

If there's a pop up it'll show on screen, have you tried the adb devices command to see if your phone gets picked up?
Out of curiousity though, when you used the toolkit didn't you have to enable USB Debugging anyway? I'm not familiar with the toolkit, don't use it myself...? If you already enabled it then it's fine, as long as adb devices picks up your device then you're good to go.

My device is already wiped so I have no configurations anymore.
I have no softkeys and no statusbar anymore since I recovered my phone with the settings app. So no statusbar means no pop-ups.
The adb devices command sees my device in the list of devices but next to it, it says 'offline'. when normaly it has to say 'device'.

You see it's supposed to throw a small pop up on the screen of the phone where it wants you to accept the RSA key to connect it to PC. It doesn't have anything to do with the softkeys or the notification bar on the top, it's supposed to be on the screen. I take it you probably can't even get into app drawer anymore in order to go to settings. Doesn't give any pop up on the screen... I think you really did f*** up your device
Did you use Hasoon2000's all in one toolkit? If so you probably had to have flashed a custom recovery, it's like the very next thing to do after you unlock bootloader?

les us assume he is in stock.So he should have a stock recovery.now Boot into fastboot get the details fastboot getvar all.you will find the mid of your choice.download international fw's ruu open the zip there will be an android-info.txt file.edit the file with your mid(change 0P6B10000 to 0P6BXXXXX) where XXXXX represents your mid.then flash the ruu via recovery.Since he connects his device adb will at least detect it (i hope).
Also open toolkit on the right side it is written "next flash a recovery". Connect your phone and simply select twrp and press flash recovery.this should do it.For more details ask hasoon.

To get getvar all you'll need fastboot commands, will fastboot commands even work if he MIGHT not have enabled USB Debugging or for that matter haven't accepted the RSA key?
That's why I asked about the recovery as well though. I saw that on hasoon's toolkit the flashing of a custom recovery was like the next step on the process which means that this guy should at least have a custom recovery already installed.
