So since the newest ota's contain bootloader .98 shouldn't running that completely unroot the device
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
Anyone wanna try? I just sold my Inc 2 for a rezound so I can't
Cannot find the info...I'm not a noob but I have gotten confused. I have 2.3.4 with 98 bootloader. Do I just need to downgrade to 2.3.3, then root? Or does the bootloader need to be downgraded too?

Yes you have to downgrade the hboot to .97 the guide is in the development section.

What version of Android is it running and what steps have you done to reach this point?
It sounds like all you need is the s-off tool found on Unrevoked's website but I'll see what you say first.

What hboot version are you on? You need to flash the misc img first to allow the downgrade to 2.2 You keep getting the too new error because hboot wont normally allow a downgrade. But flashing the misc image tricks hboot into thinking its on 2.2, allowing you to reflash 2.2
I tried flashing the misc. Image zip. It said failed.

Flash it in recovery correct. The hbott version is 1.2.0000. Does anyone have a link to that misc. Image zip? Maybe i got the wrong zip.

Have a look at the op of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506258, start at step 28. Hboot should be htcdev unlocked first if its not already.
Ok ya thats another thing. I tried htcdev unlock it wont go. Get stuck just b4 the unlock token part. I will look @ this link though thanks for the help. Ill b back to update my proggress.

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.

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

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?

I have been searching with no luck. Is there a way to root and s-off my One if it already has the 4.4 update.
No it looks like those of us who got the 4.4.2 ota without s-off are stuck for now. New hboot version locked out old exploits in rumrunner and firewater

Is it possible with the 4.3?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yep, you should be able to find the firewater s-off site pretty easily - look for the temp root method if on Verizon 4.3
