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.

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.

Were you shocked when we did it to your Thunderbolt?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sunder74:
Oh those of little faith...I'm a believer man, its not if... just when. :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SoCalSpecialist:
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.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] khanam:
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?

The boys got this . I don't know all of you but I have limitless faith in Jcase, Jamzelle and Scotty!

Start thinking of what kind of reward and time limits you guys want lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] xgunther:
Totally agree. However, at this point, I think the faith should be in someone over at HTC leaking the exploit.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcase:
If HTC knows of an exploit they would patch it, not leak it.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SoCalSpecialist:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] xgunther:
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.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thawkth:
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 ;)

Be patient

I've found a guy who wants to trade my inc2 for a thunderbolt.. I might take it..:eek:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] aczm1988:
Have fun with your new battery sucking phone. I dont regret switching from the Thunderbolt to the Dinc 2. Only thing i miss is root and roms.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] xgunther:
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.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SoCalSpecialist:
Smart move...very smart move
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nightrainbow:
Come on people!!!!

The incredible 2 is a pretty nice phone and rooted would be great.

We just need to have faith and a little bit of patience.

These guys know what they're doing. and are pretty good at it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zombiiez:
That seems like you guys are on to something.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brocksdad:
That's what I got out of that post. :fingerscrossed:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sunder74:
I said it before i will say it again. Its not if its when for root. The g2, tbolt all got soff and root through the tireless efforts of these guys who love nothing more than to crack these devices. I have faith in the talent and ingenuity of teamandirc and developers like unrevoked.

I've had every device of note since the g1 and i can say with some certainty this is overall one of the best I've owned. Performance and build quality are ace. Despite the bloatware and sense. But if im going to be stuck with a ui, sense isn't so bad.

So with or without root i will keep this as a daily driver my tbolt as great as it is the battery is an epic fail in the design imo. For everyone else make your decision on what your needs are not your wants. But if you abandon this device and when root comes...well I told you so. Lol :P
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cooljames2186:
Kudos to above!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] xgunther:
LOL don't tease us! We are a very impressionable people.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SoCalSpecialist:
look im not saying anything..but sunder you've seen my work. if im not mistaken im pretty sure you ran one of my roms..even themed it.

either way, everyone needs to just chill out. its a new workaround, itll be figured out..eventually.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sunder74:
Yeah I think I did theme one of yours for eris and did a kernel for it. As far as chilling out that was all I was saying. These things take time and its a device worth sticking with.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 4GivenByChrist:
You guys are getting my expectations up since I have two DInc2s coming as replacements for my Fascinates.

Loved the Fascinate primarily due to the awesome XDA Devs but alas tired of the epic fail that is Samsung and Verizon on the phone.

Excited to switch over to the DInc2 and get familiar with the Devs here as well!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SoCalSpecialist:
I actully dig the device without the root so far. Ive been using lpp and go launcher switching up screenies.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sunder74:
Regina launcher is actually pretty sick on this also.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SoCalSpecialist:
I actually rooted my wives Facinate some months back and recently upated it to "Evil". That whole "odin" process is such a step back.in development its ridiculous.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SoCalSpecialist:
yea i used for about a day or three but its just not for me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SirVilhelm:
Hey guys, I am doing some research for my girlfriend who is looking for a new phone and we are looking at either the DI2 or the Charge. While she doesn't care about any of this root or rom'ing stuff it matters for me. Titanium Backup is absolutely necessary which means we need root. I thought for sure the Incredible 2 would be rooted already so I am fairly disappointed when I started looking around for rooting guides and found that it isn't yet ready. Hopefully something comes out before we need to pull the trigger.

I know you guys have prejudice but why all the stabs at the TBolt? My TBolt gets 14 hours on full charge with moderate use. I don't think that's all that bad at all!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] khanam:
We have both. Battery life on the the Inc2 is ridiculously good. For me the bolt battery life is unacceptably bad in 4g areas. So much so that most times I have 4g off. If that was the case, why did I get a 4g phone. Plus against the Inc2, it feels clunky and too heavy. Not pretty enough. Inc2 is sleek.

Sent from my thunderbolt
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SoCalSpecialist:
see i really dont have any say when it comes to the tbolt, ive only used it for about 3 maybe 4hrs at the most, and helped out a buddy with a ROM really nothing more than that...BUT from what i understand :

between the battery life and the device sleekness there only leaves the win of the tbolt for speed.

speed is awesome dont get me wrong, but battery and comfort in the end out weigh such factors i would think.

we have a speedy device, the only real thing we're missing is 4G and i really wouldnt know what to do with that considering i only theme and dev a device. i dont really download much for it, thats what my laptop is for ya know.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sixteen2nd:
One of the reviews I saw of the TB said that 4g couldn't be turned off. Is that not the case?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] khanam:
You need an after market app to do so. The stock Rom does not give that option.

Playing on my wife's inc2 and its so nice compared to the bolt (mind you the bolt is a 6-8 month old device since its basically a cdma and LTE desire hd). Trust me, this one is sexier. And the h/w on this is better. The damn battery on this lasts forever! If it was not for the root, my wife would get the bolt before she knew I had pulled a fast one.

My app turns it off just fine.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sunder74:
They're basically speced the same with the exception of the 4G radio and a kick stand. The DIncs 4 in display does look sharper and less washed out imo.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] LowFire82:
I wish there were a way I could contribute since I have nothing but time here in the desert, but don't know where to start, this being my first Android phone and delving this deep...

I have faith and am waiting patiently, and am willing to help if there is anything I could do...just need a starting point
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] khanam:
If the only difference is the radio, why is the Inc2 so much slimmer lighter and has so much more battery life even if I run both on 3g? The processor is not the only h/w in the phone. The difference in weight, thicknesses is too much. Hold both together, better yet take them apart.

Sent from my thunderbolt
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcase:
Please do tell us the hardware differences then.

Sent from my Verizon Samsung Fascinated II
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jaykresge:
The TB has two different radios, LTE and SVDO. That's enough right there to drain more battery. Also, the larger screen draws more power. Lastly, the Incredible 2 comes stock with a larger battery than the TB. All of that adds up to more battery life for the Incredible 2, even in 3G areas.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sunder74:
Screen is .3 inches bigger, LTE radio, kick stand and a 32 GB SD versus 16..And yes from what I've read the LTE radio needs some room. Other than that same ram, processor and cameras. Same lack of a hdmi port. The Thunderbolt is a beast no doubt but if anyone coming from an EVO or DX shouldn't be too overwhelmed by the size/weight.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mykenyc:
Well i don't know about SVDO being a cause for my sent back thunderbolt (if you had sources that would be sufficient), but even when i disabled LTE on my thunderbolt the battery was stll horrid. I don't know about .3 inch screen difference and a tad smaller battery. All i can say is, with the thunderbolt my phone use to die on 3g by 6p.m, moderate usage, and putting in airplane mode going on the train, taking it off the charger at 9 a.m. With my new love Droid INC 2, i can heavy usage my phone and i swear it last a day in a half, moderate usage last 2 days. That is a drastic difference, they did something right, or disabled something. I think they did because i find it strange that we have the same cpu as the thunderbolt and ram yet it gets 2000+ benchmarks and we get 1400 (yes i know benchmarks can vary but essentially these are the exact same phone, they should perform the exact same way or even close not a 600 benchmark gap both on stock).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] capcoward:
Hey guys, I would really like to get this thread back on track, because I would love to see a root in the near future. I found that HTC recently released the Kernel source code and the binaries for the DInc 2. You can access it here. I am not a developer so the least I can do is point this out to you guys. Best of luck.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bradleyz:
just to see if I can steer this thread back on track, everything is ment to be hacked, xbox 1&2, kinect, PS1,2&3, computers, you name it. All able to be hacked. But also these things take time. There isn't a ompany paying anyone to just sit around and crack these things, its done in goodwill, and done on personal time! Even when some of these devices get updates that patch exploits they are once again broken. Why all of a sudden there is such a doubt? This beast of a phone was released on April 28th... That's only 2 months... We have the dev team AlpharevX doing the dirty work for us. And even if its all nothing more than a hoax, don't you think someone else(dev team) would jump on board? This isn't a device to be ignored and we all know that. With only one ROM and a couple radios being made there isn't a lot we can do right now. I had the OG Dinc1 and went through hell and high water trying to get root a week after it came out with no such luck. What did I do? Sucked it up and waited! However it is unfortunate that I have to use the HTC sense but, its what we have to do, since(like someone else posted) we can't do it ourselves! I believe with patients and a little more time we will be on our way. Thanks for the opportunity to express my opinion. But I do believe this will happen in the next few days. I just know it!;-)

I'm on my third phone now... so I've sworn off rooting and romming, for a while... i know, I'm missing out, but I want my phone to just work.

Still wondering though what can be modded/themed with no root, meaning are there any modified apks out there that will change the look and feel of my phone, I'm not really looking for a Home replacement... they are clunky and use extra resources, this also goes for clunky apks in general.

Here's what I found so far.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vibrant!!!:
are you on your 3rd phone because of rooting?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdarooted:
yes, sadly yes. First it was something to do with one of the dragon kernels, then it was something to do with one of the other roms 2.2.1, can't remember which one. Anyway, I'm sworn off rooting for a while.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oniyuri:
afaik, rooting is really harmless. just root and let it stay stock (at least root just for the purpose of making backups). samsung stock isn't all that stable either. :/
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vibrant!!!:
well, i'm debating on whether i should root my phone, but i want to know if there are any cons to it (when done right, cause i know you can brick your phone if you dont root it correctly, but besides that). i know there are numerous pros to rooting, but...i dont want to have a fast phone with less lag and better apps if i'm constantly having issues with it
[Networking] jwillis:
Hey there,

Looking to understand my rate plan and whether its a good deal or whether I should be in the market for something better.

I signed up with AT&T about two years ago for my first smartphone (EPIX) and got a plan so I could pick up MS Exchange mail.

I explicitly got the plan that did not include "texting" since I'm a data only kinda guy.

Here is the info from my online account description:

Smartphone Bundle without Messaging

- PDA Enterprise for Good

- Price $45.00

- Text N/A

- Data unlimited

I recently bought an unlocked Nexus S i9020A which seems to work great on the old SIM card and works dandy with voice and 3G data service.

Most recent usage for the account online says:

Additional Data Purchased Usage:

Data

GPRS WAP UNLTD DOM - GM51/GMD2

63.2 MB of Unlimited

So what I was hoping is for some help interpreting the abbreviations, and plan limits (if any).

My contract has expired so I assume I'll maintain the same rate plan unless I change it or sign up for a new one.

Also is the "tethering" option a fee for using their tethering application, or for the privilege of using my phone as a hot spot period.

I know that's a lot to ask, but if anyone has any ideas or experience in these matters please lt me know.

Thanks
[Networking] jwillis:
Updating my own post

Data

GPRS WAP UNLTD DOM - GM51/GMD2

GPRS - General Packet Radio Service

[3G HSDPA/HSUPA 850 1900 Mhz 7.2/5.76 Mbps]

WAP - Wireless Application Protocol (service)

UNLTD - Unlimited

DOM - Domestic

GM51 - Good Mobile client 5.1 (guess)

GMD2 - Good Mobile domino 2 (guess)

I suspect the extra (GM51/GMD2) codes are for software I was never given or told about to interact with some kind of Mobile device proxy server for a Business LAN.

Kinda upsets me.

However the "unlimited" data plan is still of interest to me.
[Networking] Diamond_dawg:
What answer are you exactly looking for?
[Networking] jwillis:
I was looking for information about the billing codes.

And opinions as to whether this plan is average, or something I should consider leaving.

Beyond that I was curious about tethering.

Originally my question was posted to the general section and it was moved to the Network section by moderator.

I believe I found some of the answers, but not all, so I was sharing the information.

If this is inappropriate please feel free to close or dispose of the thread in any suitable way.

Thanks for the reply.

. and I hope I don't come off defensive, I'm really new to this forum. So the accepted conventions and practices here are new to me.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenretni elibom:
So I accidenty installed clockworkmod even though its not supported thinking that its just an app that i can uninstall like any other. Im not sure if it replaced the original recovety app or not, but i want to get rid of it anyway.

Should i just wait for a supported version to come out or is there an easy way to flash the orig. recovery partition? I dont need the recovery thing yet but considering the fact that i have rich history of doing bad decision with my device i propably will need it pretty soon.

So how can i recover my recovery and get rid or that damn clockwork thing?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenretni elibom:
Ok, I booted to recovery mode and it's not replaced. It seemed to start up just fine. So I don't think the ClockworkMod does anything on my device, so I might as well leave it there for now. I would still like to get rid of it but I havent been able to find a way to remove it.
[EVO 4G General] chickut123:
Okay, so i've had swype installed on my phone since i installed the latest stable cm7. Everything went fine. I rebooted my phone today and all of a sudden swype just stopped functioning. When i swype, a blue outline appears around the keyboard. I tried reinstalling the app from the installer and making a whole new account, but the blue outline remains or it says that the keyboard is configured for a different device. Any help will be appreciated, i can't live without my swype.

Thanks advance!
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Go into the setting, then language and keyboard, then make sure swype is checked. Then change the input method to swype, and it should work. On the latest CM7 nightly and no problems.
[EVO 4G General] chickut123:
Yea, i did that. I've been using the keyboard for quite some time. It just won't work anymore. When i try to swype, a blue outline around the keyboard appears and nothing is outputed
[EVO 4G General] chickut123:
Okay for future reference for others. I fixed it. After you install and it generates the license, click back, then enable manually. It works perfectly after that.

[HTC Inspire 4G] henry.menzies:
Sorry if this has already been posted.

My phone is rooted on stock rom.

It started freezing up and wouldnt send text messages. GO sms locked me out. I had to take the battery out and restart several times. Now i cant connect to any wifi. In wifi settings it just says error. Any ideas what could be wrong?
[HTC Inspire 4G] sa1yan:
your best bet is probably to flash back to stock OS...i dunno if there is a one click for inspire

or you could flash a rom :]...this was probably a weird glitch that would go away with a simple full flash
[HTC Inspire 4G] born_fisherman:
Why not start with doing a factory reset?
[HTC Inspire 4G] sa1yan:
I think he already did that, but if that doesn't work, try restoring your entire phone to stock...idk if there is a one click Odin for inspire like there is for Galaxy S models
[HTC Inspire 4G] henry.menzies:
Thats what I was thinking about doing. Will try that this weekend when I have time. Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
There's a guide stickied to this section that believe has the link to the RUU, which is what you might try, though I think going the RUU route will unroot you.

Full wipe reflash should do it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] papanut:
yep I would try wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe delvik cache and a clean install of the rom
[HTC Inspire 4G] henry.menzies:
Flashed CoreDroid didnt fix the problem
[HTC Inspire 4G] henry.menzies:
would flashing a new radio fix the problem?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Shadrian21:
Did you have any luck with this? Im having the same issue and debating whether or not I should flash back to stock to see if this resolves the issue. I have flashed countless ROMs since root with no luck.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GTIVRon:
My phone is doing the same thing. Not sure when it started doing it since I don't use wifi often. I wanted to check for updates and the HTC one requires WIFI be on, thats how I found out.

My phone is completely stock, with only Apps installed. Factory reset made it say something about connecting for 10 seconds or so before saying error, and now once again it just says error every time i try to enable it.
