[Q] Problems with rooting - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

I have been trying to root my wifes phone and it seems I am getting stuck in the middle of the guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751796
Is a link to the guide I am using. I would post there however it wont let me.
Anyway the problem I am having.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 1.09.01.0312_vivow_Radio_PG32IMG.zip Same as the above, do not interrupt under any circumstances (unless you really wanted a phone-shaped paperweight )
On that last step it will not let me flash. When I try it comes back with FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
I have tried to rename it to PG32IMG.zip and put it in the sd card root for an update however it reads the file and skips over the update without letting me apply it.
I have also tried to flash from fastboot with the original file name and renaming the file. I still get the Failed message
Any help would be great. For now I dont know where to go.

Cant install ViperINC, help
Hello, since I just joined the forum I am unable to post in Development section. So I'll try my luck here.
I am running S-off with twrp recovery. When I try to install ViperINC it fails at the last step "installation" in AROMA. Basically I select everything I need in the AROMA click next it looks like its trying to install but then just finishes and pops up a next button. When I click it just says Enjoy you have successfully completed installation. Below is the info I was able to retrieve from twrp.
Thank you

S-off your device with revolutionary first before you flash the radio, since you have to be S-off to flash radios.

I have been tring to do that. They say Revolutionary should be self explainitory however. I get to this step
Zerging Root.. This might take a minute or so.. Root Acquired!

Cleaning up...
Rebooting to fastboot...
When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back!
Waiting for Fastboot...
Then nothing. My phone reboots into fastboot. I left the tool running in the backround for an hour with it stuck there and nothing else happens. I never get S-Off.
Since I have tried this several times over the last few days I even tried to use fastboot during one of the revolutionary processes just to see if fastboot is working and it is. Just the tool never gets me to S-Off. dont know what to do

Yes. Part of the guide requires you to use both ADB and Fastboot. both of them work outside of Revolutionary
also on a side note I tried to do it again tonight as my 1 hour trek. I checked device manager to make sure there were no driver malfunctions recorded by wndows before using revolutionary and while using it.

Seems I am stumped everyone on the issue. Think I have givin up on tring to root this type of phone

So you have super user installed which means you've obtained root. You're s-on and are trying for s-off so you can flash a different radio? Is that where you are at?

A lot of people have a problem with the flash a new radio part. If you are following the guide I'd just on to the next step which I believe is revolution. As long as you obtained the correct key from the website for your phone that should unlock your phone to s-off and it'll day revolution at the top of the hboot screen instead of locked. From there If you aren't having any problems don't even bother with a new radio. Just pick a custom ROM, follow the instructions and flash it.

During the guide process I could never flash the radio. I tried flashing it from Custom recovery with the Superuser option when having dev unlock. I tried flashing from Fastboot as its asked. Ive tried renaming the file from PG32IMG, I also tried downloading alternate radios to be where I need to be. I also tried modifying the original flash rom folder so it would not replace the correct radio I needed. Non of the above options work as it fails with 12 connection error. I also tried all those options on 3 different sd cards just to be sure my sd card didnt do down in flames. Without flashing the radio I only got 1 boot into the OS to try and run revolution Tool. It would run reboot into fastboot Fastboot is responsive however after letting it sit for over an hour per attempt it never rebooted to give me the full S-off which also means no custom roms cause I cant flash radios without being S-off to start with. Forgot to add when I renamed it to the PG32IMG and got into boot mode. it would read the file and never give me the option to install update. it would skip over it like it wasnt there.

You did disable fast boot correct?

Also you dont need to be able to flash a radio for a custom ROM. As long as you have root you can still flash custom ROMs using the s-on installation method and HTC dev unlocked which you stated that you had done.

Yes, part of the guide tells you to go in and turn off fastboot before start revolutionary tool. Also the custom mod I want to use for it would require me to flash firmware and custom radio for ICS. Neither of which I can do with s-on. And is the reason I am tring to get s-off with her phone

as far as I know you can just go htc dev unlocked, with root. download the custom rom that you want, flash it in recovery, pull the boot img and rename it to pg32img.zip put that on the sd card in the main area not in a folder. go into the boot loader. it'll grab the boot image file named pg32img.zip and install it. then change the file name, boot phone and profit.

Close, but you can't just rename an image to a zip like that, in order to go the PG32IMG route you'd need to create a zip with the correct file structure and put the boot.img in that. Instead of trying to figure that out, just extract the boot.img, plug it into your PC, boot into the bootloader and run "fastboot flash boot boot.img" to flash the kernel.

thanks prototype for clearifing my instructions. I just took it for granted that he would put the boot img file into a zip file and I'm not good at all with the commands. I can follow someone else's instructions with them but I won't know what the commands actually do.

Open the RUU
Press WindowsKey + R
Type in "%TEMP%", then enter
Sort the file by date modified and find the folder with a zip that says "rom.zip"
Copy that to your desktop
Close the RUU
Rename the "rom.zip" to "PC36IMG.zip" and place it on the root of your sdcard (not inside ANY folder)
Boot your phone into bootloader (power it off, then hold the power key + VolDown)
The bootloader should find the PC36IMG.zip and commence the update process back to 100% stock
Note: Your sdcard must be formatted to FAT32 for this to work

Root method work around for Locked BL's on the 98.18.78 update.

New root method discovered!!!!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602657
Nvm all what follows
Update: there is much hubub at the rzr thread as to it not working for some users.
Outcome: You must install the latest Moto USB drivers.
More hubub : see my StickyWickets.
Latest Moto USB drivers.
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
Here is the guts of the work around. updated 9/12/13-osx problems fixed now?
http://www.mediafire.com/download/l7qqr6xx6vt2x6u/motochopper_1_3_xt907.zip
For vzw 98.18.78 xt907 only.
If you need help search google for that file for now. Op in progress. I thought it best to spell out the steps & warnings!! (As someone did misuse this at my linking to it in it's former bare form)
Thanks to livinginkaos the real Op!
Though it is a copy of that other Great forum's Op.
Instructions:
0. You must install the latest Moto USB drivers
1. Download Motochopper_1.1.2
2. Extract files
3. Connect the phone to the computer USB 2 port
4. Ensure that USB debugging is enabled
5.*Execute the Run.bat on Windows or Run.sh on Linux/Mac
6. Follow the prompts
7. Check for root access if none goto next steps.
*
If you had previous root, sometimes it is required to clean the system partition of any remnants, so we can do that here:
*
( Partial restore steps. Note this will not substitute for a FXZ/XML restore. )
8. Download the proper system.img or system.img.ext4 for your device
9. Place the file in the motochopper_1.1.2 directory
10. Jump back to #3
StickyWickets to get over:
1. You may need to enter stock recovery & do a data wipe/reset if you hang at the big M.
To enter stock recovery (which has a bug in the secret double press action), from the dead android, you need to do any of these:
a) Press & hold both volume keys for 2 sec & release.
b) Hold volume down and tap volume up and the menu comes up.
2. Be sure to use only the fastboot in the motochopper root exploit.
WARNING: This ONLY works for the XT907 on 98.18.78. *DO NOT use it on any other device or version!!

Yes. You can also install a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and flash SU binaries, or use a custom ROM.

I am new to this. I have not attempted to flash a custom rom yet ..the main reason I rooted was to save battery power on my razr m which is disappointing..almost dead after 4 hours of use.

I like TWRP the best, personally. Nothing wrong with CWM though. Safe strap was intended for locked bootloaders and not usually used with an unlocked boot loader.

As Rom Manager is to CWMR so is TWRP manager to TWRP.
But twrp seems to be a better execution.
Motochopper 1.1 for RAZR M is now available at the link in the OP. MUCH easier now to root on locked 98.18.78.
Can somebody supply this again via a different link. I'm not a fan of the way this website supplies this file. My computer identified the software that they want to download it with as malware. If somebody already has the file I would appreciate a personal exchange.

I could really use some help here. Hang with me as I explain what I've done and what's happening.
About a month ago, I checked for OTA update. .78 showed up, but, before installing, I went online to see that the new update didn't jive with rooted and BL unlocked Razr Ms. So....I've basically been hitting "remind me later", twice a day, since then. So my alarm goes off this morning and, in my foggy eyed and foggy head state, I hit install update.
Obviously, I lost root but BL is still unlocked. Thinking it would be easy to reroot, I uninstalled the superuser app. Well I tried to reroot with the motochopper in this thread and it's a no go. I run the bat file and it gets here and progresses no further. *daemon started successfully*
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Let someone else chime in, I am on a mac & rooting only is hard.
But use my restore & restore data (adv restore- cwmr) when done is easy. See goodies.
Hello I am on the latest stock, no root, no unlocked bl. It is my understanding if I choose to root it, I am limited to safestrap roms. Do any safestrap roms (which are all outdated?) provide any advantages over the latest stock?

That is impossible. With a locked bootloader is not possible to flash partitions in fastboot. You must have been unlocked already and therefore the HTCdev error.

I have a stock back up. However, I still need the stock recovery.

:crying::crying::crying: I, too, need this mystical T-Mobile stock RUU for the HTC 10. I'm stuck in either bootloader mode or download mode. I cannot reboot the phone into normalcy, nor can I get it into recovery mode (of which would be TWRP). After rooting it I put the SELinuxModeChanger apk on my phone and downloaded it. When I opened it, it gave an error telling me that I was either not rooted (double checked that w/ a root checker and it confirmed I certainly was), or that it wasn't being given any permissions by the SU (of which I certainly did). I didn't think much of this till now - it wasn't a huge deal. And I made the choice that I just wanted to start fresh and go back to stock.
Did all the necessary preparations for it and couldn't find the HTC 10 RUU under T-Mobile on their site...but thought the one under Unlocked/Developer would be fine. Tried it, the program told me I couldn't do it with that version and now I'm stuck at aforementioned point. I could certainly use help as well.
Only way to go back to stock is to restore a backup. What do you get when you try to go into TWRP?

I get this error:
"Failed to boot to recovery mode
Press volume up or down to back to menu"
I've been talking to a bunch of XDA member in a group chat app on my HTC Desire...someone mentioned something along the lines of using a backup that will work for the HTC 10 T-Mobile phone.
Can I use my fiances somehow? He's rooted w/ custom ROM.

Oi vey :crying: so since I was trying to use the RUU to get back to stock - I relocked my phone (as it is a prerequisite for the job to get done). So, since you can't flash while locked, I simply go to enter in my fastboot unlock command for this device and I get this is response:
error: cannot load 'token'
So now I am going through the HTCDev website and am going to redo the bootloader unlock process to see if that will work with unlocking it once more...then I will attempt to reflash TWRP. If it's all successful...I have the TWRP backup on my SD card...will the reinstalled version of TWRP be able to use it?

Welp...
Sad day - I enter my "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" in the CMD window...and the menu where I get prompted with the question as to whether or not I want to unlock the bootloader on my phone popped up. I jumped for joy up to the point where it froze after I said yes, shut down, then went back to bootloader mode.......still locked :crying:
No what?
Try fastboot erase cache and then try booting into TWRP

I can't do this till I get computer access again. However, I just realized that my bootloader is relocked...and I'm stuck in either download or bootloader mode. It won't reboot into the phones UI nor will it boot into recovery. Will I even be able to preform this operation?

n910vvru2cpj2 root?

Is n910vvru2cpj2 rootable, can the bootloader be unlocked?
Just bought a note 4 on ebay and found out about the latest update when I looked at the "about phone" info. Read it was a security update....ruined my new purchase buz. So I was wondering the same thing can't find any info reguarding it, hopefully someone more experienced with the phone can chime in.
you might still be able to downgrade to N910VVRU2BPA1, and if you are able to, then yes it can be rooted.
how do you perform the downgrade?
I drank a beer and prayed lol seriously I downloaded kingo root for android. I installed the app on the phone. Then I installed root checker. Next I did adb devices. Next I did adb push Samsun unlock file like the guide. Then I ran kingo root to get temp root. In the command line I did adb shell,then typed su. You should then see # (which means you have root. At this point I typed in the code lines described in the guide. I typed the lines and when prompted yes/no,I typed yes and waited 5-10 minutes. Was prompted on screen that it was successful.

After the above was done,I booted into download mode to verify I had dev mode. I disconnected USB cable,opened Odin and then flashed twrp recovery. I'm using cm14.1 ROM as I'm not a fan of touchwiz and stock.
Hope this helps you out. Whole process took about an hour. Good luck ,let me know if you get it working

First, download, install and run the eMMC brick check from the Play Store, first before proceeding. The CID has to start with 15 or you're screwed.
There are like a billion threads in the general section that explain how to use KingRoot to root your phone, then push an unlock file. I believe I used this one.
YES I KNOW THIS IS THE SAME POST I POSTED ELSE WHERE >>>
hi all heres my deal what i have done and nothing is going to work and im screwed ... i odin'd systemonlyN910V-5.1.1.tar which shows in setting as LMY47X.N910VVRU2BPA1 and when i power up to recovery it shows N910VVRU2CPJ2 as recovery ...
