Droid Incredible Android Dev

Let's root it!!

Any devs working on this phone?
Seems the whole dev comm is on the TB
Looks like the Inc2 won't be as robust as the original, tis a shame

Worried about that myself, but I love the phone. I don't particularly need the 4G because I'm pretty much always on WIFI and the T-Bolt, Charge, etc are just to large for my daily usage. The Inc 2 is a great little phone with a good battery. Lets just hope the dev scene picks up.

Yea, Let's hope get some good devs on this.. that they didn't all hop to the thunderbolt... :/

You guys are in the same boat the thunderbolt, desire S and incredible s are in (Except the thunderbolt has an older vulnerable radio).
If you can locate a RUU with a radio from ~ jan 7th or earlier, odds are in your favor.

Htc devices use nand/emmc write protection, preventing write access to much of the phone's internal memboery
On top of that the latest HTC phones (thunderbolt, inc2, inc3, desire s) released check for a signature on the recovery and kernel images, and throw the device into a "security warning" mode if the signatures are wrong or absent. If it is the recovery that is missing the signature, the phone will still boot but deny access to recovery. If it is the kernel, then the device won't boot.
Older HTC radios had a vulnerability that is exploitable (via scotty2's wpthis), to remove the write protection. Seems to be radios dating before January ~7th.
If such firmware exists and can be found, you guys can go the same route we did with the Thunderbolt, and replace the hboot with an ENG hboot, bypassing the signature checks.

if we can find it..and get a root ( i pray to the root GODs everynight for it )
ill pull out my dev jacket and get back into the mix for sure.
this device has to be my all time fave device..and ive been using HTC devices since way back in the AT&T HTC Tilt Days (2008 for those who are wondering )

I have to agree. Its killing my tbolt battery wise. And spec for spec its one of the better devices out. Just gotta hope a software ninja drops something for us.

[ThumbsDown] Now What???

Received my brand new Droid Incredible 2 today from Asurion. And as you might have guessed, 2.3.3 is present
I know that currently, the only way to root(s-off) is with the xtc clip. Has anyone heard about any progress on rooting these yet without the clip? Where the heck do you even get these clips? There's a ton on Ebay, but all seem different. If someone could link me to one, just so I know, I would appreciate it
Other than this, the phone seems pretty legit. Sure, it's not as "pretty" as the Inc 1 but hell, It runs very smoothly. I can't imagine what a custom rom will do to it. After becoming a flashhead(lol) with the OG Inc, I am ready to dig in to this one!

mine comes sometimes this week... im in the same boat as you.
i have no problem buying a cheap single use xtc clip off ebay.. but i dont like the idea of perm s off...

Yeah that sucks. I didn't like the idea of permanent root either. My HTC phones are prone to messing up and needing a replacement. I don't want 2.3.3 though even if i do get one. Honestly I would expect someone to try. Sooner or later people will only have GB on the inc2

Give it some time and GB will be rooted.

youshould be able to s-off using alpharevx my moms dinc2 has 2.3.3 and the bootloader is the same so you should be able to use that method

Is this legit? I thought if it came preloaded with 2.3.3, you couldn't use AlphaRevx

What version is your hboot? Far as I've heard it won't work on 2.3.3... Wonder if anyone has tried it? Sure am glad mine had 2.2
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk

Gingerbread has to be rooted first. the bootloader has not changed, so it does not need a new exploit. Once 2.3 is rooted, the alpharevx can then incorporate that method for s-off. Please correct me if I am wrong

Is there any way I can restore my apps that I backed up with Titanium, without having root access? If not, what should I do?

to answer your XTC clip question, you should be fine with the cheaper red PAYG clip. It's the same exact thing as the more expensive one, except its based on a credit system. you need to buy a credit for every phone you unlock, but it comes with one preloaded credit and if you're only unlocking one phone, then its not worth it to get the unlimited. I got mine from FoneFunShop, and it delivered in about a solid week

Any reason not to get Dev edition?

Okay so I'm in love w/ my g/f's M. Giving up my S3 to come back to the Moto side of things. With that said, I want to get a dev edition.
I'm very familiar with Hash, P3, Dhacker etc being an old Razr owner. With that said not sure if the $200 price difference (ebay used retail vs. new on ebay or Moto for dev edition) is worth it.
Sucks that Moto is somewhat based out of Illinois as to buy the dev edition from their site I would have to pay $77 in taxes...
So I found a couple dev editions on Ebay for $579.
What are your thoughts. I normally stick to AOSP roms, although the new JB OTA is pretty good from Moto after installing on my g/f's M.
The one thing I can't help but notice is the slight lag, which feels like taking a step back from the S3. Chalk it up to the extra gig of RAM I suppose on the S3. Thus, brings me to my main reason of wanting a developer edition. Kernels and OC'ing.
What say you XDA'ers?

The Razr M (Not Droid) - model XT905 - the Aussie Retail Razr M is unlockable just like the Dev Edition Droid Razr M. So for us over here in Oz this is a great thing, but if you need CDMA then maybe not so much. It's a great phone, though.

:good:
I'm hoping to build some kernels for this phone on the dev edition at least. I know my S3 will handle at least 2100 stable. So it shouldn't be too much of an issue with the M. And now that plenty of kernels have been put out there on the S4 processor, should be relatively painless.
W/ that said I don't know the first thing about ROM'ing. Would love to learn but working 50-60 hour weeks around inmates, I value to my time off to not stress myself over building rom's that would no doubt be buggy and then trying to troubleshoot. Who knows, maybe down the road I'll build up the courage.

A kernel should be easy, if and when they release kernel source. As for roms, that's where everything will happen lol. I have a retail model, sadly but this is one beast of a device. I'm curious about the "around inmates" part of that post lol

Coming from Sensation to SGS3

I don't think I ever been so anxious to get a phone as much as I am to get the Galaxy S3 later on this month. When I first laid my hands on it during the summer, I already knew I wanted it. I'm coming from the HTC Sensation, one of my favorite phones. Anything I should know about the Galaxy (I've done my research,know how to flash/root,etc.)?

That it's awesome, any more brain busters?

I just made the exact same transition. No firmware to match with ROM's, just have to match up the radio.
One of the biggest differences for me was just how thin the phone was compared to the sensation. It's tough to hold the Sensation now.

Just make sure to back up your IMEI number as soon as you get the phone and have fun there's a lot of stuff to flash here. Your in luck too, cyanogen him self owns this phone and is getting ready to release 4.2 jelly bean nightly soon.

check out this thread:

I made this same change just a month ago and I love the s3. One of the biggest difference is changing radios is MUCH easier, no more going into the bootloader and flashing the radio, with the s3 they are called "modems" and you flash it just like you do with a rom. Bigger screen obviously, but also better sound and volume through the speaker. WAY faster in general use, even rooted and overclocked my sensation was still slower than my underclocked s3. There are just as many if not more custom rom's for the s3 and everybody makes accessories for it.

I'm getting the GS3...just waiting to find a good holiday deal on it

My Bad..

Can you Link the wallpaper?

My boss had that phone. I was so jealous. Lol

That's the phone that started me on android, had two G1's, one rooted and one stock. Was fun back in those days with all the development going on. Cyanogen Mod and waiting for the weekly updates, can't remember who but I did some testing for one of the recoveries used on the G1.

I had an N1, but only after the original HTC Desire as that was more widely available in the UK and, after using both, somewhat more refined than the N1. That said, the physical trackball was far easier to use than the optical on the Desire.
I was also a fan of the Nexus S and its curved front, but I know I'm in the minority on that one

My first Android was the HTC Droid Eris (rooted, of course). The trackball was interesting although it gave me problems eventually, and I then had to abuse it to get it completely disabled instead of giving me the constant problems when I wasn't trying to use it.

Yes I had to go to Columbus, Oh. to buy the G1 because the Cincinnati area didn't have 3G and T-Mobile only sold the phone in 3G coverage areas.

I am. Rooted my HTC G1 and loved it. Then the Nexus One was launching and at the time my phone was still fairly new considering how long we used to keep them before smart phones.
Since my wife (gf then) wanted to save money on our bill she got this garbage Samsung dumb phone when I got the G1. So when the Nexus launched I had zero issue buying it immediately because she HATED that phone and wanted mine.
Can't blame me, I tried to talk her into a G1 (she later upgraded to a Rezound, god I miss HTC) she wouldn't budge though lol.
I would be constantly flashing new firmware and Kernel's on my Nexus. I barely ever used it I was doing it so often just because of how cool it was. Eventually the scene started to slow down and I got a couple non Google phones then a pixel xl which was my last until the 6 pro. My least fav Nexus was the Samsung Galaxy Nexus... Go figure since the last 3 phones I've had and come to eventually hate were all Samsung snapdragon devices that couldn't be rooted. I should have imported one instead. Apparently there is a method but it's not public afaik and it costs too much to be worth it and you have to mail them your phone... No ty.
Hopefully Google doesn't start preventing modification because that would be a damn shame. Seeing where the scene is today compared to then is already hard enough. We went from too many firmwares and Kernel's to not enough and it seemed to happen really fast too. I had a bad feeling the day they announced cyanogen was going to come pre installed on whatever that phone was. So many other people based their modified firmware on cyanogen but the tweaks some of them made were genius. Stuff Google is just adding now.
The only bad memory of the scene I have is when I bought an nVidia shield portable off of eBay and the guy didn't say that he installed lineage to it and I don't remember if I couldn't get it back to it's original state for some reason or what but I was not happy, especially since those things were rare and I had found one in we great shape but I couldn't use anything but moonlight on it... Owell.
