Root brianstorm and chat - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

I just spent the last 2 hours looking for your guy's IRC channel. I found nothing so this means either A. I am an idiot or B. there isn't one. I am leaning towards A.
On AndIrc #inc2root and if there is one already please disregard and tell me WTF it is.
http://chat.andirc.net:9090/?channels=#inc2root

Looking to brainstorm on a software root for the inc2, please come chat if you have input

Anything come from the brainstorming yet?

The storms in the brain have ensued. This is a locked/signed bootloader issue. If they solve it soon, I will be shocked.

i remember having an HTC Ozone and dude they were saying there was no chance in hell that thing would be rooted. 3 months later..ROOT HAD BEEN ESTABLISHED and that was way back day.
so be patient man, its gonna happen.
enjoy the adw lpp fusion in the interim.

Nope. Was just happy. As you said, you had the device for a while and it had a loophole. I hope you can root the inc2 as well. But we can guess this will be harder. That's why I was telling the others to be patient. Isn't it better if you are not pestered by people looking for ETAs?

Totally agree. However, at this point, I think the faith should be in someone over at HTC leaking the exploit.

If HTC knows of an exploit they would patch it, not leak it.

Yeah, you're probably right. So where does that leave us? I just don't see how developers will crack the software at this point.

All of you with little faith should remember how long it took to root the inc1/evo!
Anybody else remember having to use the SD card eject trick on the inc1?
All before the supreme luxury that was unrevoked

I think it is user preference at this point. If root is extremely important to you and you don't want to deal with the uncertainty of it ever happening, or in a timely manner, then maybe the Thunderbolt is for you. I am in love with this device's battery life. So I'm just going to wait it out and hope something comes along that'll help us get perm root and CM7 on this bad boy.

I agree with everyone who has said this so far.
Evervolv and OMGB are actually pretty good ROMs right now; the *only* thing I'd complain about is that they get really, really hot during NORMAL usage (20 minutes of Internet browsing will jack your internal temperature up past 100 degrees). But, they're very fast and, oddly (given the heat issue), pretty good on battery life. Only real issues are GPS & camera but those will get hammered out probably before New Year's, if not soon after.
And of course, whenever the N1 gets the 2.3 OTA update, everyone will be in the Gingerbread business. So I'd just sit back, relax, and try some of the current GB ROMs, if only to prepare yourself for the awesomeness that will be the polished products of 2010/2011. XD

Why are some of the Inc dev's leaving XDA?

Ok. So i have been away from the form for a couple of weeks (family emergency) and I noticed that some of the dev's are packing up and going to different forums JoelZ9614, ihtfp69. What did I miss?
I'm kinda wondering that too tbh
devs should just ignore the crap and keep doing what they do.
Stuff like this makes me want to stay with CM even more. CM is my first love for custom ROMs and my favorite so far due to it's speed and features and open source model. Since they packed up quietly it just would make you speculate.
I like looking at the front page of Inc development to see what's new. We'll still be seeing new ROM on xda, just from fewer devs.

...What exactly has happened on XDA that we're unaware of? Other than some of the people who use roms being totally immature, they will just follow to the other forums and spam that up. What's the point?

Possible dev!!!!

Anyone remember tazz from the Eris forums? Well he said he would consider deving for us. If we can get enough people interested in donating we could get him an inc2. If not its all good. Just a idea.
EDIT: tazz has agreed to dev of we can get enough interest and a phone. Right now it looks like it will be around $250-300 unless we can find a bad esn on. I'm hoping we have 25 ex Eris users who are willing to donate. Tazz said he has to learn the phone first but should be able to do it. I'm thinking a month or so from now we can achieve the goal of a new phone.
Those of you that dont think it is worth it, just look at all of his old roms for the Eris. His work speaks volumes of his ability and his # of people that use his roms shows how much he cares.
I will update this thread as people pm me with how much they are willing to donate. I won't give out names. Just how much. Once we have hit about $250 we will start to collect. Remember the xda honor system

Ok my wife is Done with her GN

Her phone will not stay connected on a call for more than 5 minutes at a time. It constantly goes into Airplane mode, and she randomly has data drops.
I've put her on AOKP 4, Liquid smooth & Android Rev HD 3.0, with Stock & Franco #2 milestone. NOTHING WORKS.
It sucks because I have no problems with mine, other than a bit of lag here and there (which may have been fixed with the Trinity Kernel).
So shes done. Already up and purchased an HTC one S. I really want her to stay in the GN but I think its just left a bad taste in her mouth.
I'm just really trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with her phone.
I haven't tried the newest 4.0.4 that was released a few days ago, but I honestly doubt its gonna do anything. Suggestions???
Stock anybody? All the way stock with ugla4 or uglc1 radio? Trying to force roms perpetually in progress is a bad idea and your desire to force customization on her left her with a bad phone.
teach a man to fish, you feed him for life. teach a man to fastboot, and you create competency. and less threads on xda.
It's probably defective, especially if you've tried the plethora of software options that people are likely to suggest. Careful buying things out of frustration, though, especially things that are brand new to the market. The One S is not immune to QC defects and such. For instace:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ht...phones-one-day-does-htc-have-qc-problems.html
Get her GNex replaced. Or let her just go with the One S, I'm sure it's a solid phone. There are tradeoffs that she may or may not care about when one decides to use a non-Nexus phone. Just make sure she knows.
Why would you buy your wife a Galaxy Nexus and unlock it? I'm going to assume she's not Android savy or knows what you're doing, but seriously a bad idea just asking for trouble.
Just saying.
Also, that's a hard issue.
Let her keep the One S and keep it Stock. Its a good UX and won't break on her. Personally, I wouldn't recommend a Nexus phone to someone such as your wife.

He may have unlocked it just to try some different solutions to fix or alleviate the problems they were having.
But yeah, I think the more appropriate thing to have done is just take it back and get a new one. You paid for a working phone, don't ever hesitate to keep taking it back until you get one that works as it should!
I have heard that several people with that problem have had their GN replaced and fixed the problem. When I got mine, the verizon rep specifically told
me that if I had that problem to bring it back to get replaced. I think they had a bad batch of phones....

Are there devs getting closer to root/unlock?

I don't want to sound impatient or anything because I'm not I love my htc one as is but am just curious if any devs are getting closer to a unlock or root without the s-off tool. I've seen that there is a large bounty right now so I feel there should be devs at least trying to figure out something but it seems like I'm not seeing much info. anywhere and am only seeing people using s-off cards and stuff and I can't send my phone off. Any ideas?

If you don't want to wait then send your phone off for S-Off, but please don't rush the devs. The exploit will come when it comes.
Can we lock this yet?
Just hold on tight, it will be here soon!
There is an exploit floating around, but it needs work.

The OP is not rushing the devs, he's just curious if they are getting close.

Yea but in all reality there are multiple threads about this... A simple search would provide the answers.

Why would DEVs who are in a race to get a bounty TELL anyone how far they are?

Exactly why bounties are a horrible idea IMHO. Donating for people's efforts is one thing, but bounties are almost always counterproductive unless someone already has an exploit that they don't want to burn.
Its so funny after leaving iOS for my Gnex almost 2 years ago, I never thought I would be reading about "burning exploits" and "waiting for updates to release tools".
Oh well, the good thing about Android is, even "locked down" android is still amazing! The sexy hardware and looks of the phone take the sting out of waiting also haha

Why? Not "burning" exploits is a damn good idea. What happens when, lets say, the exploit was released now and then HTC took an extra week to patch it? Like getting insurance or warranty replacements? Too bad we wasted the exploit. Look what happened with the DNA and 2.04. It is literally the best idea to wait until the OTA comes out. This way, the majority of users get s-off and HTC will have a harder time patching it.

i remember picking the dna up in april and it immediatly took the update for 2.04 then it took the 2.06 one. only a couple months went by and they came out with moonshine on linux then a window's version came out. i returned my phone back to stock to get 4g back and then i used the window's way. it is great to wait for the ota like you said so many more android's can get unlocked or s-off!!! :good:

I think you misunderstood me. I was just making the comparison from iOS to carrier locked Android.
I completely understand why and how this is all done, but thanks for explaining to those that don't

Welcome to VZW asshattery, it's amazing how the AT&T and TMo owners don't have to deal with this nonsense

Of course, but at least there is a ready unlock solution, hopefully the devs will figure out the VZW obstacle soon
