Let's root it!!
Yes please!
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 )

yeah true. However tmo would not be the first to go back on their word. I have called and complained alot about not getting upgrade and I never get a real answer
Use NB_Mod, it's the leaked 2.2 update.
The HTC Slide is quite a lot of phone for the money. Easily enough for many android users.
If T-mobile gives an update, how will they sell you a new phone?
I think this whole leaving out official release updates will start to be a trend. Unless you have one of the official google phones (Nexus one/S) i wouldn't expect too many updates in the future.
Froyo should be coming. I don't believe it's said that they will never release it. Just gotta keep waiting for it maybe by June(year after release) we'll see it.
If you really don't want to be sitting there waiting for it, As musicman said use the NB_Mob.
S-OFF has been achieved on the VZ Droid Incredible 2 using the exploit from AlphaRevX.
Many thanks to IEF and the rest of the AlphaRev team who are working on bringing this to the masses.
AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC IN BETA FORM AT http://revolutionary.io/
STAY ON TOPIC OR POST ELSEWHERE
General Info:
Yes this will work on the .97 bootloader. It involves flashing a custom inc s bootloader, then running the exploit.
Yes this is the Verizon Droid Incredible 2. Note the Vivo_W in the header of the pic below.
No, you can't just flash the Inc S bootloader then use alpharevX.
No, you can't ask for ETA's. I'm not a member of Alpharev and will not ask for you!
No, this is not fake, take a look at the videos posted by Jcase further on in the thread.

So what does that mean for Inc2 phones with the .97 hboot?
Yes, that was in fact on hboot 0.97.
We just rewrote it to 1.09.1000 (our patched hboot for inc S).
That leaves one less hboot for us to maintain.

Since accidentally submerging my htc Trophy in saltwater last weekend I've been eyeballing the I2. Based on what we see here is it safe to assume this is now or will soon be perm rooted? I have the opportunity to buy a I2 tonight and would love to know it's good to go.

There is a donation link there.
t0adman, this is by far the best android device i've touched hands down. I've owned the original inc, the vibrant, and i've rooted just about every phone available. This thing is hands down the best. Has some sound issues that i think can be fixed through root, but the overall quality, speed, and battery life is incredible (no pun intended).
I wouldn't concearn with permanent root, i bought mine a month ago and was quite surprised how happy i was with it just stock. It's really THAT good.
If my understanding is right, AlphaRevX achieved S-OFF, not root. But root should only be a couple days away. After root, ROMs are right around the corner (as long as the Devs plan on making them).

I'm coming from an htc Imagio (which I love but WM6.5 was awful) and a Droid X, which I also thought was awesome. Looking forward to this phone. Thanks.
So how exactly do you do it? The beta doesn't recognize the Inc2.
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Thanks for everyone's hard work - donations forthcoming.
I assume you pick the Incredible S option since they are almost the same phone. Don't quote me on that though.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
I have tried just about everything, I think he must have done it with a different, newer version of the AlphaRevX program because the old one doesn't recognize the version of HBoot on the Inc2.
I figure since it is a DEVELOPER center for HTC phones, it deserves to be in the Dev section! Anyway, OpenSense SDK, Kernel Source code, and unlock bootloaders soon to come!(hopefully for Inc2 as well...) Who is excited??

Technically, yes. If you have an XTC clip or a Froyo phone (which are harder to get as every day goes by). So, in response to your statement I'd have to say yes, but not really.
From the way they've been explaining things it's going to be device specific, and our device hasn't been mentioned. It would be nice if all HTC devices were able to just be unlocked.

Hey guys,
I just bought an HTC One X on ebay and when I got it in the mail today it had all sorts of interesting markings on it. It has the AT&T branding on the top and when I boot up the phone it says "This build is for development purposes only...."
Would this be of any use to community to dump this particular phone?

Yeah, make sure you dump other stuff like the hboot, radio, etc.. as well. If you can. Might be of use to other teams trying to get S-OFF.
I hate to ask a stupid question, but how do I do that? If someone is willing to walk me through it, I'll dump anything off the one that anyone needs.
S4 or Tegra?

Hey, might be wise to put this the the general and dev sections of the One XL. Most of the people on that forum are going to be buying the at&t version.

votecow -- if you are worried about HTC pushing legal issues on you -- you have no reason to be. STAND STRONG. Dont listen to them.
If they try... do not answer the phone or anything -- do not respond to any emails. Do not respond. DO NOT RESPOND. They will try to scare the bejeesus out of you but they have absolutely no legal standing to do so because unless you stole that device off a HTC employed developer, then they have absolutely nothing against you legally.
OK? stand strong.
If you do not want to deal with such crap, feel free to forward whatever crap you get to joshcues at gmail dot com and I will be more than happy to take care of it for you. Of course I will establish a connection with you first before replying to whomever is making such claims.
This is awesome and I love this cat and mouse game we play with the OEM's but sometimes people actually surrender to these OEM's, but from what I have seen of your obtaining the phone and if you have receipt of purchase from whatever seller on EBay - then you have absolutely no reason to be worried. OK?
You are safe as safe can be. HTC's only claim would be against the seller. Not you. Capisce?
Can you post benchmark results like antutu, quadrant, linpack that will be great to see how it does against the quad core one x

I disagree, it takes time to get things going. Most the Developers (that I know of anyway) that are on Verizon have gotten their phones S-OFF, and are working hard to bring us the goodies. It will only get better from here, and those who are patient enough or don't feel like shipping their devices, will have all the goodies waiting for them, as we are working hard getting the ball rolling. It will only keep getting better and better. Even if SunShine NEVER brings support to Verizon, their any many amazing people with Java Cards who are 100% trustworthy and depending how you ship your device it can be back the same week. (I personally sent my phone out with $400 insurance on a Monday, and the phone was back in my hands by Wednesday - It was on it's way back to me with a tracking # before I even had time to see if the phone had made it!) 100% worth it, and thank you again @dottat!
