ok well you need a unlocked bootloader or you need to downgrade. press the thanks button and ignore the post above.

Look in the android development section of the forum depending on which play you have you'll find the forums has the firmware someone which you need. Also download a program called flash tool, as this is used to install firmwares to your phone (providing your boot loader is unlocked).

From what I've heard, you are correct, sir. What he need to do is downgrade firmware, then used either DoomLoRD's rootkit, or superoneclick to root.
Sent from my R800x using Tapatalk
install flashtool on your pc
flash a custom kernel e.g. doomlord v11 to the phone
this will root the phone
just search up the zergrush method
fives you root in like 2 mins!!
Is there anyway possible to root my og evo without computer? My usb port is broke :l

I think if you downgrade hboot and firmware far enough you could use unrevoked. I think captain Throwback has downgrade PC36imgs available for that. He's got links in pretty much all the root tutorials here in the general forum.

You can always get a sd card reader and put any necessary files on it. However any method of unloicking or rooting does require PC access. Google put a stop to rooting apps quite a while back.
Koush, author of CWM, was working on a CM app store that would be able to host all of these kinds of apps... so we just need to be patient and those days will return.
My girl just got this phone from Verizon and it came on 2.3.4. Not really sure how to go about rooting it. Only found a guide for 2.3.3.

Follow the guide for downgrading first.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
Check your software version in hboot first. There are a lot of problems with newer models of the Inc2 and rooting.
How do I even get into hboot? The normal ways didn't seem to work for me.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Turn off the phone and hold volume down and power at the same time. If that does not work pull the battery out for a few seconds and put it back in and try again. When I first got mine I had to pull the battery at first before I could get into it.
im trying to do this to, so not hijacking the thread..
im at hboot .98 and have tried to download the kit in the downgrade thread, but it resets the connection at the end and never finishes.
ive read about htcdev tool to unlock bootloader, but there is no straight up guide besides the attn1 thread which is useless with that vwhk kit.

Here is a thread I just came across in the general section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697175. Maybe this will help some people.

Check your software version. Is the first number 5 or 6?

If it's software 6, it would be better if you used HTC dev unlock because downgrading software 6 is pretty difficult unless you're familiar with ADB shell.
If it's software 5, then using the downgrade tutorial would suffice and then revolutionary process, etc.
Sent from my vivow using XDA
It's possible to root and s-off with software 6, but it's complicated and can cause bugs and instability. There's really nothing you'd want to do that you can't with just using htcdev unlock, the downside is it voids your warranty.

Thata why I stated that you shouldn't try to S-Off and downgrade software 6 unless you are knowledgeable with ADB shell. This is because the entire process requires ADB shell usage.

Ok I just used condemnedsoul's pg32img to revert back to stock. I thought I was going to have to return my phone to Verizon but found out I don't have to. Now I've lost root. How can I regain root and is there a way to do it w/o connecting to a pc? I'm on 2.3.4 gb sense 2.1. I'm still s-off.

Sure you can do it without a computer as long as you use 4ext for your recovery. Since you have s- off you just need a recovery to flash and Su for root. Use the app to get the free version of the recovery. The app will flash the .IMG file. Then once you have your recovery
Just download su and flash in recovery. Here is a drop box link to the su zip file to flash.

Here is the recovery updater app
http://db.tt/2sN1gD5h
Or rom manager app will also install recovery i believe and you can also use that to flash su for root.

Ok I have 4ext so I use it to flash the .img recovery file? That will give me a custom recovery so that I can flash the .zip Su file so I can gain root?

ok... so my aunt brought me her phone that she said she bricked... first thing first, its just a soft brick. i can turn the device on normally ( in which it just stays at the htc bootsplash.. i can also boot the phone into bootloader.. i cant go into recovery. when i select restart bootloader in fastboot it freezes the phone up... i have came to a conclusion that she wiped her recovery out completely. heres the problem where i need help..
1. the phone is ****locked**** , and when i try to use the htc dev. to unlock bootloader it will not let me select "yes" to unlock bootloader.
2. s-on
3. usb debugging is disabled im assuming...
4. hboot = 0.98.0000
5. radio: 1.09.01.1111
is there any hope for this phone???
Have you tried fast boot flash a recovery or using an ruu
when i try to flash recovery via flash boot it gives me an error.. htc cant sign the file properly..!!!??? all the ruu methods ive seen require usb debugging to be enabled ive tried them anyways with no luck...
Use the downgrade method in the development section.
Sent from my KangBang'd out vivow
doesnt the downgrade method require you to have usb debugging enabled??? my phone will not boot...
So I guess there is no hope for this phone... I can't get anyone to respond... :/

With a locked bootloader? I don't see how it could work, but you might as well try the downgrade tool, it can't hurt.

I would try flashing a recovery through the bootloader again. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185490 check out that thread for more info. I don't think its gonna work because you aren't s-off but its worth a try. I have seen some hboot flash able ruu's before. I will look around after work.

If the one at the previous link will not flash take a look at this one. I believe you need the gingerbread 2.3.4 one based on the radio version you posted. These are also signed so they should be able flash with s-on.

Google search "vivow signed ruu" there are hundreds of posts there with downloads. A signed ruu is an ruu just as it comes from htc. Because it is signed you can flash it through bootloader with s-on.
You will need a newer or equivalent version to the one on the phone or it won't flash.
You will just need to find one with a good download now.
Sent from my ICS Dinc2
Hmmm
Like has been said the RUU posted by CondemnedSoul should work. Just make sure its named PG32IMG. Dont add .zip or anything as you may not be able to see extensions if you dont have then enabled. Once its named PG32IMG and you put it on your SD card by itself not in a folder.
Once you do this pull the battery for a second and put it back. Now Volume down and power to boot bootloader. Give it a sec and see if it will load the image. If it does load it will give you the option to install by pressing volume up. It should start to install and should fix the problem. I have used the file before on my older Inc 2 so I know it works. Hope you get it sorted out.
So I get the ruu to read finally and it freezes on this screen...
