[How to] Root Your DInc2 Tutorial! (2.3.3 GB Only)

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.

My bad, my work computer is crappy, the 2 does not show up on my browser lol

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.

I went to the site just now and HTC DROID Incredible 2 is the 6th option down in the device list. If it still doesn't show up, test another pc or try it on your phone. All you need is the key anyways.

I will say it is okay as this happens to my PC as well. The files still transfer and CWM flashes through fastboot as well.

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.

Did you unzip the e4gtauto.zip package? If you try and run it from the zip file itself, it won't work.
Try running it from command prompt rather than clicking on RUNFIRST. The screen will stay around so you can see the output.
If you copy/paste the log output (between the START LOG and END LOG) I can tell you what is going on.

Huh? Yes, I know about the thread, I'm the author. For your particular problem, I made a suggestion for you to confirm and beyond that, I need to see the output to tell you what is going on.

Yes sorry about that. I didn't unzip I went straight to the file and opened it first so let me unzip the file first then should I now run it and click run first?

Yes. Unzip it and click on run first. Then make your selection in the list. Make sure drivers are installed, USB debugging is checked and storage is off.

Thanks so much guys I'm doing it right now. I need a new computer this thing is so old its running slow. Lol. I will give it some time and see what happens. Thanks again.

I doubt your computer speed is affecting the root. The zerg exploit takes around 2 minutes. It runs on your phone.

[GUIDE] [HOW-TO] Root Your Droid Incredible 2 VIA HTC Bootloader Unlock

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.

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.

It installs with the android SDK, Google it or adb.
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda app-developers app

it seems that your device drivers are not installed properly.install the device drivers , than follow the instructions, like turn on the usb de bugging mode in developer options and than connect the phone.and follow he instructions. i just checked these yesterday again.

dear, you problem has been solved or not. if not, than kindly tell me so that i could dig into this.

thanks for this! rooting does not seem to work, or I just don't understand Chinese? I rooted my phone using framaroot. the other file though works fine. it flashed a bootloader and a recovery image. very good indeed! thanks again.

Perfect!
