Permanent root

It took 2 days for the devs to root the Thunderbolt, maybe less.
Where's the love for the Inc 2??
Gimme some love.

is this post development related at all? as in is this a rom/mod/kernel/think tank post? no
read through the other threads and posts before making another super awesome thread like this

jmaddox31,
1.) Your post doesn't belong here in the development section. It doesn't really belong anywhere on the site as it has no value.
2.) We're waiting for you to root the device and post procedures on how to do it. You aren't done yet? It only took 2 days for the Thunderbolt. You are pretty lazy for not having it rooted yet.
3.) We are not your trained monkeys and you are not paying anyone (I just checked my Paypal). So go back and quietly sit in the corner.
PS: Mr Clown, could you close & trash this thread, please?

this phone will most likely never be rooted... by software anyhow.. might have to return it for a tbolt.

Why wont it be rooted??

1) we had the thunderbolt for months before the release, we were familiar with it when it was released.
2) We perm rooted it on release day, s-off on day 2.
Thunderbolt was a similar situation, however because we were able to locate firmware vulnerable to scotty2's wpthis exploit, we we able to downgrade, then replace the bootloader.
We don't have this option on inc2, yet.
I have a inc2 eng hboot, and once a way to write it is found, we will have s-off root.

Hey man appreciate all your doing and when root happens it will be awesome. But on a positive note this device has the best battery life since my og Droid. It kills my tbolt in the battery department. Again thanks man.

I would be surprised if a signed ruu dating before ~jan 7 exists.

if raskal comes up with inc2 support i can S-OFF and jcase said he'd help from there getting and RUU and making a recovery.

So that basically means a different exploit must be found then. One that exploits the code that is actually loaded.

Tried it for our phone. I get a "your device not supported at this time" error message.

I didn't figure it would work. Thanks for the reply. Hopefully it ends up doing us some good.

Was intending to attempt some binary hackery but it looks like the binaries are obfuscated. It seems like at this point trying to hide hacks from the manufacturers would be pointless, so I don't really understand why obfuscation would be desired.
I'll jack with it later.

I hope so this would be amazing. just hope they can crack the code!

The software can't be that much different. I don't really know how their hack works so I can't say if they are trying to crack it still or just need some testing.

seems like raskal is having a hard time considering the htc sensation has had support fir a while now and just cmae out.. i just want root i dont care how

It's just a matter of time before Alpharevx saves us. But the real question is... what do I do with this xtc clip? lol

The Sensation doesn't have temp-root, which is needed to develop Alpharevx for the device.

[Q] Any Prospects for Dev Support?

Am seriously considering this for my next phone. Does anyone know if any devs will soon be supporting this device? I'm not one to have blind faith.

I doubt it. If you want roms, you should look at the HTC one, gs4 or note 2. This phone isn't popular enough probably because it launched so close to the other big ones and is only available on att.

I dunno. @thecubed doesn't own this phone and @designgears mentioned that he bought it because of the locked bootloader, implying be didn't want to flash stuff. Then again, he essentially let cubed brick his phone so apparently his addiction still had him in a strangle hold.
It will happen, but how long and when it does how many roms will we see.
I'm mainly looking for the ability to restore my phone if I bootloop which I already have.

Currently you have to be on 4.2.2 in order to use rumrunner to gain s-off. Sounds like we'll have an updated method soon, though.

I'm not sure when the new method of s-off will be available, but your best bet would be not to take the 4.4 update from Verizon since you can't downgrade like the previous post mentions.

Right, if you're on 4.3 you're stuck for now. It will posted in the Original Android Development section when it's ready. The instructions for the method will be in the thread when it's posted.

I had a similar problem. Just get into a live chat with a customer service rep and say the phone hasn't been working properly since the update. They ship out phones with 4.2.2!

It won't be long until we get s-off for 4.3. I did the replacement thing, but the phone had gaps and didn't line up...had the camera issue too. I sent it back. I'd rather have my original phone over a refurb. Just my .02 though.

In case you haven't seen it by now, the new S-Off program is called firewater, and you can follow them on twitter @firewaterdevs. They have posted a video of it in action on youtube. Lets keep our fingers crossed that it is released soon.

It's tough to say... the S4 got the 4.3 update before any other carrier surprisingly. Whether or not that was just a mad push to sell more Galaxy Gear I dunno, but perhaps their updates are starting to roll out quicker these days.

On the other hand you would think Verizon wouldn't make such foolish decisions such as delaying the One for FIVE MONTHS. I bet they lost tons of money trying to sell their crappy Droid lineup and failing miserably. They also delayed the S4 by about a month behind other carriers. I really don't know what goes through their head honestly. Whatever it is, it's not intelligence...

Swapped out my One Max for a One 4.4 root status??

Really loved the screen size but the One Max was just way too bulky
Plan was to swap out the phones, race home and s-off. Unfortunately when I got to the store the sales rep had already done me a "favor" by installing the 4.4 update for me. ahhhhhh!!!!!!! lol Is there any way to root this bad boy yet?

Not yet. Hopefully soon, but who knows. Htc is getting better at finding exploits and fixing them. I have a fear that pretty soon no phones will be able to get s-off.

If I was bashing the devs work I surely wouldn't be laughing about it now would I? I would be serious. In all the years on different android forums I never once saw a person bashing a devs work end it in lol. I have supported many devs over the years and with the HTC one recommended many Roms to members on here. I just tested a fix for data drops on the latest viper one Rom for a dev. Anyone that knows me can say I don't bash a devs work unless they steal from another dev and try to pass it off as their own work.
So next time when you can't understand a post ask the person what they meant or just ignore the post all together. Instead of attacking the person blindly.

Thanks for the post and kind words. I have always tried to help where I can.
Your right neo has been dragging his feet far to long. We need to drag him kicking and screaming over to the One side lol. If I had the money I would buy him a One just so he could dev over here. Not saying viper one or any of the other Roms are bot good enough. Just the more the merrier and more options for us users. I have been rocking viper one one since release and has been a beast for me.
