I reverted my Droid Incredible to stock and then tried to root again. It is showing that it has Android 2.3.4 on it now and I am unable to reroot the phone. It errors out and asks if the firmware is too new. Anyone else having this issue and if so how do we root again?
Have you tried Scotty1223's method for rooting gingerbread? I'm on my phone but it's titled "root 2.3.4,downgrade,and s-off" within the general section. Otherwise I'd provide a link.

Hey, curious, which process did you use to go back to stock? I have to do that soon.
Should be able to find an .ruu, or use pb31.img to restore it

hello,
I own a DHD which is branded to a French telecom SFR. its already S-Off and running android 2.3.5 with software number 3.13. As i am writing now i have tried so many different methods to root, debrand and flash a custom rom but nothing happens.
I even tried AAHK , which promted me to download and i agreed by pressing "y" in the cmd. it went on to download the firmware for the downgrade. After the download it booted into the bootloader and nothing happend. The sd card wasnt check for anything. So i made some more research and it looks like i had to create a gold card. So i created the gold card ,placed the downloaded downgrade firmware (PD98IMG.zip) to the root of the gold card and booted into HBOOT. when i got into it , this was what happend.
SD Checking...
Loading...[PD98DIAG.ZIP]
No image!
Loading...[PD98DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PD98DIMG.zip]
Wrong image!
Loading...[PD98DIMG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
this process took more than 30-40 mins. After, it just went back to HBOOT without doing nothing.i dont know what to do anymore because i have tried everything but its not working. Has anybody ever downgraded and rooted this type of DHD before.?? i am wondering if AAHK suports software no. 3.13.
SOmeone please help me on what to do.
I hope somebody can help you mate. Just out of curiosity, did it come stock with Gingerbread?

use the official htcdev unlocker. you'll get root but not s-off
I already have s-off

Grab a RUU, flash it in windows, once you're on a different firmware, try S-OFF and root and all those things...

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

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?

Hey XDA,
I have had quite the experience with my Desire Z but I won't tell stories.
Recently, it was stuck in a boot loop running CM7. So I went into HBOOT and returned it to the stock rom that I had on my sdcard.
My problem is I want CM again and I have no idea how to go about it. Should I follow the same procedure as rooting my device or is there something else to do?
Thanks
That all depends on how you tot root and how you lost it, in order to answer please write down EVERYTHING on your bootloader screen and also confirm if you still have a custom recovery

If you already unlocked the bootloader, then just flash a custom recovery and then Superuser.

What about reading the whole post I linked you?...
...As you can notice root access is easy to be gained but not S-OFF. If you are skilled in android and working with terminal or cmd commands, then you can use this: http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=411...

That is the only way to gain S-OFF right now. Why you need S-OFF btw?
No reason really, fastbooting the .img I'm simple. But s-off makes it a little easier

One thing I've noticed is that ky recovery does NOT restore backups. Md5 mismatch. Would this be a ad card problem or recovery its self. Tried flashing 4ext but needed s-off
