S-on AND Root - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

I've been posting here and there around here lately but thought I'd get a cleaner, more focused thread going for those of us who used HTC's unlock tool and want root.
I managed to get the bootloader unlocked with HTC's tool and installed SU and clockwork onto my Inc2 but I think I'm having problems because I'm still S-On instead of S-Off.
So, what do we do next after unlocking the bootloader? I'm under the impression that because I'm S-On still, I can flash a custom ROM, but not only the ones with the stock kernel intact. This would be why Sabotage was able to install, but Mik wouldn't. Still only a theory, though.
ANY HELP PLEASE!!!

There are 2 options to flash a custom ROM that has a custom kernel on an unlocked bootloader.
1. Instead of booting to recovery mode directly, you need to boot in Fastboot mode and issue the command:
Fastboot boot [path to custom recovery.img]
This will boot you into recovery mode using the custom recovery image. Then you can flash a custom ROM with a custom kernel correctly.
2. Extract the boot.img from the custom ROM zip file and copy it to your SDK tool directory.
Then boot into recovery mode and flash the custom ROM. Next you must reboot into bootloader mode and enter Fastboot mode. Enter the following command:
Fastboot flash boot [path to the boot.img file].
Try either option 1 or option 2. You do not need to do both.
Hope this helps.

Tried option 1 and when I go to select install zip from sd card after booting to cwm the phone restarts. Trying option 2 now...

Option #2 won't work since I get stuck at the HTC screen when trying to load a custom ROM.

How did you try to reboot into bootloader from recovery once the ROM was flashed. Once I get into recovery I connect the phone with a USB cable and then type
Adb reboot bootloader
This will boot you into HBOOT straight from recovery and should prevent the hang at the HTC.

Ok. Let's start fresh and complete:
1- Plug phone into computer.
2- select HTC sync on phone
3- open cmd and get to sdk
4- type "adb reboot bootloader"
5- phone should reboot to HTC's recovery thing
now what?
I have cwm installed already.

Just select Charge Only, not HTC Sync.
Once you type adb reboot bootloader you should get the HBOOT screen and it should show FASTBOOT USB.
At this point you should enter Fastboot commands from you PC command prompt.
So you said you tried fastboot boot [path to recovery.img file] and it did boot you into recovery, right? Then you should be able to flash the custom ROM and reboot normally when the install is complete.
For option 2 once you are in recovery mode flash the custom ROM and then when it is finished connect the phone with the USB cable and at the command prompt you should be able to type adb devices and it will respond with your device id.
If it does, then type adb reboot bootloader and it will take you back to the HBOOT screen. From there you would then enter the following Fastboot command:
Fastboot flash boot [path to boot.img file]
Then Fastboot reboot

You determine what the path is when you download the recovery image to your PC. The best place to download or copy it to is the same folder you run adb.exe and fastboot.exe from.

great thank you... i was thinking i had to use a path to the recovery on my phone's storage not my PC's...

Can someone link me to a cwm recovery that works. I'm having the reboot issue after selecting choose file from SD card.

OK maybe I am missing something here. Do you actually have full root? If you do, how did you get it? I don't know how to get the su binary and busybox installed. I have unlocked my bootloader using the htc supertool and I don't have root, which is keeping me from installing CWM or anything root related for that matter. I have not seen any instructions on how to root this thing since the unlock tool became compatible 3 days ago. But maybe I have missed something.
Thanks for any help.

Still cant get rom to boot... however, i have been able to fastboot into custom recovery and complete the flashing process...
Now i am just stuck at the HTC screen after reboot.
Any suggestions?
Thank you all so far. You have been most helpful.
***** update ***** I finally got it after fast booting into recovery, flashing rom, and then extracting boot.img from that rom and flashing it via fastboot.

After you have an unlocked HBOOT, you need to flash CWM recovery image in FASTBOOT mode. Once you have CWM installed, you can install the latest SU-3.0.xx.zip to root your current ROM and then you can installl and use root programs like ROM Manager, Busybox, Titianium Backup, etc. or you can install a rooted custom ROM.

[Q] Installing CM mod via fastboot

Ok, so I bricked my wildire s.
Is there a way to install the unofficial cm mod using fastboot?
It seems I need boot.img, systems.img and data.img but in the "unofficial-CM7-marvel-nigthly-20111218.zip", I can only find boot.img. I do seem to have Clockworks Recovery Mode installed. And it's unlocked via htcdev.com.
I need to do it via fastboot, because i dont think I can access the sd card while in hboot, fastboot.
And if anyone reads this, please learn from me and always create a backup before you do anything with your phone. Otherwise you'll end up with just a brick.
Just reinstall cwm with recovery.img
in fastboot mode type:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
cwm recovery.img is attached below.
then you can install cm7 from cwm

This might work.
How "bricked" is it? Does it boot to hboot/fastboot with vol down/power after a battery removal/replace?
If so follow the instructions to install CWM recovery then flash CM7.2 1218 Nightly and GAPPS from there.
yeah hboot, fastboot and cwm is working. However i can't figure out how to access the sd card while in these modes. So, I am not sure if i can install cm with the traditional method.
So I am trying to figure out how to do it via fastboot.

In CWM you have the possibility to mount sdcard to your pc. what you need is the cm7 zip file, nothing more.

[Q] Do I have this right?

Getting GN tomorrow, I've read all the [REF] posts and I've been working with Samsung devices since Samsung has been making devices.
I know little about Nexus devices, and I am surprised at how easy this process seems to be.
Naturally I'm suspicious, so I come to you to make sure I have this all straight:
1 adb fastboot oem unlock
2 rom manager > install clockworkmod
3 flash rom/gapps in recovery
Ya? No ODIN? No messing with partitions? Is it really as easy as these 3 steps?
kthanks
Step 1.5 is to root while using fastboot. Use efrant's guide in the "stickies" for the commands and sequence. It's very easy.
If you follow your steps as you wrote them (without the rooting commands in fastboot) then ROM Manager will install but you won't be able to flash the CWM recovery because there is no root.
Good luck!

Learn to do it all yourself, makes life a LOT easier!
1. fastboot oem unlock. Phone will reboot once you've done this so once booted go back to the bootloader
2. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (download the latest CWM here and rename it recovery.img)
3. fastboot reboot
4. Once back in Android copy the ROM to your phone (and GAPPs if you need them). I'd also use a wipe script to format the phone before flashing the new ROM. You can get mike1986's one here
5. Turn on USB Debugging
6. adb reboot-bootloader
7. Go into recovery
8. Flash Super Wipe script (if you're going to use one)
9. Flash ROM
10. Flash GAPPs (if required)
11. Reboot phone
12. Enjoy!

To clarify, the fastboot oem unlock command only unlocks the bootloader, correct?
At what part of the process is root obtained? I've never seen/tried a CWM flash prior to root/SU.
Am I obtaining root simply by flashing the root enabled rom?
I wouldn't call that "Doing it myself"
That's right. Once the bootloader is unlocked you can then flash new files to the different partitions on the device (system, data, recovery, boot, etc...). Root is obtained when you flash the SuperSU package in CWM or when you flash a custom ROM (as they tend to be pre-rooted)
When I say 'do it yourself' I mean all the steps of unlocking the bootloader, flashing CWM manually, etc. as opposed to using apps that do it all for you

yup, that's pretty much it.
1. fastboot OEM unlock
2. fastboot flash a custom recovery(differs from ROM manager)
3. flash the su binaries or a custom ROM in your new recovery
4. reboot and profit
Put the rom you want on your sd card before you do any of this actually. Then get yourself into fastboot mode. Then do the
fastboot oem unlock.
Fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery.img"
fastboot boot recovery
Install ROM
Actually come to think of it, maybe the oem unlock erases sd card, putting ROM on before unlocking might not be good. Most roms have root permission anyhow so you don't gotta worry about getting root if your flashing a custom rom.

if you put the rom you want in your storage before you fastboot oem unlock, then it wont be there when you need to flash it, considering the contents of your storage gets erased when you fastboot oem unlock.

Ya i thought of that after i posted. That was my bad. Although you could boot into recovery, mount the sd card so computer sees it, copy the rom into phone then flash it. Rather than rebooting to system and using rom manager.

I presume your bootloader is unlocked? Are you able to boot into your ROM or not?
If you want to just bring your phone back up and running, you will need to run a RUU or restore a nandroid backup:
So post the result of the following:

[20.2.2015][Root and stay with stock recovery]

Hello Yu Yureka fans!!!
This for the Yu Yureka fans who want to root the phone but don't want to miss OTA update by flashing custom recovery
In this thread i will tell you how to ROOT your Yu Yureka without flashing custom recovery.
This method will not flash custom recovery over stock recovery, this will just boot the custom recovery once just to flash the superuser.zip. so you will be back to stock recovery after flashing superuser.zip.
So lets get started...
Your Bootloader should be UNLOCKED
Files you need:
1. adb and fastboot drivers
2. A CWM recovery link (don't worry we wont flash it, it is just needed to install superuser.zip)
3. Superuser.zip link (save this in your sd card or internal memory)
Note: Keep recovery.img file in the same folder where adb and Fastboot drivers are placed and always open command window from that folder.
Connect your phone to pc via data cable
Steps:
1. Open command window (cntl+shift+right click)
2. Type
Code:
adb devices
if your device is connected you will get it in connected devices
3. Type
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
4. Type
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1ebf boot recovery-yu.img
now your device will boot into recovery mode
5. Select install zip from sd and navigate where you have downloaded the superuser.zip and select install.
6. Done!!! Your device is rooted and you are still in stock recovery :good: you wont miss the OTA
To check if you are in stock recovery just reboot into recovery :good:
Hit thanks if this helped :good:

TWRP not persistent

Hi guys,
I've just updated to newest OOS firmware wich is 5.1.2 and I'm facing a weird problem.
Every time I flash codeworks TWRP and reboot to system, the next time i try to boot to recovery it boots to the original recovery.
It's like when I flash TWRP it doesn't remain persistent. When i flash it through fastboot and straightly boot from fastboot to recoverry I succeed to get in TWRP but as soon as I reboot to system and try to boot to recovery I reach the original OnePlus recovery.
Is anyone facing the same problem ?
And also do you have any idea about what i could do to solve this problem ?
Thanks in advance for your answers !
If you don't have root or custom kernel its normal, plus you should use blu spark's twrp, its newer and more reliable.

Indeed, I just needed to flash magisk to get it persistent. I'll try blu spark's one as you suggested.
Thank you very much for your answer !

Nothing to do with recoveries or kernel. After you do the fastboot flash recovery TWRP in fastboot, do this: "fastboot boot TWRP". I believe that's the right command. Basically after you flash it, manually boot to recovery through fastboot one time. After that it'll work from inside the phone or with the button combination with the phone off.
Jesus people are lazy these days.
First off there are official twrp versions for a reason!
Download the latest version: https://dl.twrp.me/dumpling/
Reboot into flash boot with the following command from your rom: adb reboot bootloader
With phone in fastboot mode: fastboot flash recovery 'twrp.img'
(You don't need to type out the entire file path you can just drag the file into the terminal and it'll insert the file location)
The reason you're not getting back into that recovery is because you're not booting into the recovery before you reboot into your ROM.
There is an option to boot straight into the recovery from the fastboot mode

Actually not that lazy because I used to do what you mentionned.
The thing is that a flash of Magik is needed to patch twrp. That's the step I forgot in the procedure and explained here.
So before being unpleasant, please know what you're talking about...
Cheers !
