This thread should be closed/merged, as once the alpharevX team releases their support for us, there will most likely be about 3 new threads about it lol. This one is just a lost cause and way off topic, in the general section I feel it would serve better use.

wonder whats going on at alpharev these days..

Shut your pie hole and wait. It's that easy. Compare waiting for this to waiting for a redwood tree to grow to maximum height. This will seem like a fraction second. There now...feel betta?

The Eris took several months. The new security wasn't as easy to crack as others were.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Pyr0TeK:
95% of this thread is garbage (just like my reply to your post right now). Once there is a verified way to exploit the device, based on the topic of this thread, the OP should be updated to reflect all pertinent info. in regards to it. That's my point.

I would be so appreciative if, you can, you would test Netflix on the GB port.... I am really starting to get a bit antsy about buying this phone. The guy who sold it to me had one himself and said it was all but certain that we'd be getting Skype w/video and Netflix... ugh
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcase:
I dont have a netflix account. Netflix eitehr works, or we can fix it. Not something I would worry about.

Skype Video is working I believe, once patched.

Jcase is going all out to prove this lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcase:
Lol not really, im just being a little prick enjoy the phone. I have 3 of verizon's new phones here, charge, thunderbolt and dinc2. Dinc2 is proving to be the most fun (i have no lte here)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bradsinram:
Ya I don't have any LTE here either which made the inc 2 the perfect choice for me especially since my last phone was the og inc, but at least you have s off. Right when the inc got sense 3.0 I lost mine so now I've been dying for it ever since lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
did you buy all these phones??
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcase:
The inc2 was provider by RootzWiki, rest were either purchased, traded for or work related
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
awesome man!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SikYou:
So, you have yet another engineering bootloader?

Thunderbolt!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bubba82:
Looking good I've been stalking this site ( looks like everyone else has been too ) every couple of hrs . Not complaining by any means . It's like Christmas when I was a kid .
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cloiselle:
I would agree. thunderbolt is a beast, but it has it's downfalls even with root and rom. charge i haven't touched and probably never will, but the dinc2 has the must " fun " factory of any and by god ,

is it a handsome brute !
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcase:
Actually its a custom patched bootloader from AlphaRev, they opt'd to patch in the fastboot/s-off and additional features instead of using the ENG. It worked out better.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] azndan2:
we all appreciate your work Jcase. my dad will be happy when he can tether again.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcase:
Appreciate AlpahaRev and attn1, I have done no work on this phone ,,, yet.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] suprdave2:
Maybe a 4th of July weekend release coming up :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lil_bono:
I just noticed this! LOL! No offense Merc, Eng refers to engineering boot... not English language boot

*** My apologies. I was trolling this forum for someone with an Incredible2 that needs root. I did not know there was a Chinese release ***
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zombiiez:
He was referring to the recovery that got released by nforce4, which is in Chinese.

Are you the same guy that wrote Nonsensikal? I know dumb question, but if you are, I LOVED that ROM on my Eris. If you develop for Inc2, you've already got a fanboy lined up.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SikYou:
lol yea but the dinc2 is actually for my wife so I'll probably stay away from development...probably (-:

Thunderbolt!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
What are you using currently? I just opened up my old Eris for the gf...she's do up for upgrade next year but needed the data package lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kingsway8605:
Why is everyone assuming we will get root. I don't know what xgunther supposedly did, but if there was a way to root it would have been shared by now. I am starting to think this was all just a ploy to get donations.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dnoyeb:
Maybe you should read up and learn before making judgements and sounding like an ass.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prestontmitch:
Xgunther didn't do anything to root the dinc2. He is currently the second guinea pig for alpharev with a dinc2. IEF was the first to root the dinc2, he rooted a unit I had in my possession a few weeks ago. After that proof of concept, attn1 went on to write a custom recovery port of clockwork for the dinc2. Alpharev has been slower than everyone would like to roll this into their beta or move alpharevx out of beta but that is their choice. If you donated, send them an email politely encouraging them to bring dinc2 support to the masses. If you didn't donate, then you really have no say in the project whatsoever so you definitely shouldn't think it was just a ploy.

Also, just FYI, the method used to turn S-OFF on the dinc2 involved flashing a custom HBOOT which is a little more complicated than the method currently being used on the Inc S. Adding support will be a little more complicated than it was to support both HBOOT versions in the Inc S.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mountaineerndixie:
It's not a ploy, it's legit. It's just puzzling.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Clutch McWinner:
You're married huh...? Then it's simple. We get your wife hooked on custom ROMs, then she will torture you nonstop until you develop the perfect ROM to silence her nagging.

<--Married 10 years w/ 3 kids. I know how it works.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] suprdave2:
The wait has indeed been kind of crazy. It didn't brick the other two phones they did it on. Release it already... :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TB13:
They say they are still working on something, but I can't imagine it would take this long to get everytging together sence they say they are fully staffed.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] maqsur:
With all respect to developers, I think I have lost interest now in the rooting process. I was once excited, and I still check the threads out of curiosity. But now it will probably be anti-climactic.

I'm already thinking of moving on to a WP7, with its even more limited customization just to have something 'different.'

Happy 4th July all.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mountaineerndixie:
I haven't lost interest...that's the whole reason I use a smartphone is to mod it. I only use 100 voice min./month so if I wanted just a phone I would have a flip of some sort. I'm just a little disappointed, as I remember when preston started this thread I didn't sleep well for 3 days...lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mozes316:
lol I'm just happy I bought a Droid Charge and the Incredible 2... not to mention I recently won a HTC Trophy. I was curious about the WP7 myself. :p
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] suprdave2:
That about sums up my feelings as well, disappointed.

I'd like a trophy too if ur handin em out lol.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcase:
Alpharev is non profit, its not a loss at all.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cloiselle:
you sir, are correct in that aspect

at this point it's basically pay to play and man am i itchin' to play. also having jumped on the gb ruu i don't have many options :D no issues with the gb though at all, just wouldn't mind that nifty oc'd rom ;) BEASTMODE time

"_limited to 5 thanks a day"?

I tried to "thank" this post but discovered the 5 thanks a day limit.

I will be getting the DInc 2 around October (If I can still find it by then).

When I think about getting impatient for a root or a ROM, I just look at my LG Fathom and say to myself "Well at least HTC is still getting the goods"

It's a shame L (LOW) G (GRADE) had to push out that "updated" PC tool to BORK any chance using it to duwngrade, or even flash the fine little abanonded stepchild that it is...

Is that NORTH Korea or what...

BOT, I too will donate to the cause (as soon as I can) weather or not results are posted as some may "EXPECT".

Must be some TP 2 folks around here. (If he got it, I want it)

As I allways told mom back in the day "expect me when you see me".

Enjoy...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] suprdave2:
Actually that's wrong. I *will* donate to the first place that releases a free/open source method of rooting my phone.

I will not donate before hand however. I do not want to see my money just disappear into a black hole. So far AlphaRev has been a black hole of information.

I reward results.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mountaineerndixie:
I doubt anyone else is even trying since it was announced that it had been done. It was unlike me but I donated to the phone for development or whatever with this Alpharex release pending, and that seems to be going well for the ones able to use the ROM's that have been released.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcase:
They have been very forth coming to questions asked, that they can provide. Silly questions like "when" they can't answer, its beta and its not a simple/easy thing. It has to be tested, it has had failures on other models from what I understand. Releasing without proper setup/testing would be, well dumb.

I don't know of any methods that will be open source.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
This is what I wish people would under stand.

Yes they got it to work on a few phones! Hurray! Now to make sure it wasn't a fluke...and while we are at it let's support a few more brands of phones in this release...

They are doing two things right now...making sure this wont brick our phones...and supporting two other phones with this release...

Jcase thanks for keeping us updated. This post was in agreance with yours BTW :-)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phillybizzle:
I agree with dave...it's just practicing good business ethics. I've heard that rumor floating around that it's just a donation thing.

Check this out....about 8th or 9th post down..... http://www.facebook.com/AndroidPolice
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bridgy84:
I have been reading this thread from the beginning and i want to start by thanking the team for their hard work to get our phone to have s-off.

I realize the wait is hard but i feel like you guys (some not all) forget that these people have lives, jobs, kids, family in general. Take a second to think how much free time you get in the day. For most it is not much. We are lucky that these people are taking that time, they could be doing something else, to even work on this for us. It is going to take time to make sure when it does come out we don't get a bunch of paper weights as we try it. I have faith they will get it done for us. Cut the guys some slack.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mountaineerndixie:
I don't think it's a donation thing, I think it's legit. It's just frustrating that the likely holdup to our S-off is an issue they are having with another device due to the release being for multiple devices. It seems to have worked fine for the guys who have the Dinc2's running around here, so it's likely a different phone causing the holdup, I suppose.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bradsinram:
If that was the case then why couldn't they just release an update supporting the phones that are working?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcase:
It's not another phone holding it up. It is making sure that the supported devices are stable, and adding in a few features to make it more user friendly.

Feel free to drop the cash on a XTC clip, or find a hack of your own if you can't/won't wait for them to be comfortable to release.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mountaineerndixie:
Please don't try to make people feel bad. We have tons of respect and appreciation for what these guys do but don't make it sound like they have a gun to their head in a cave somewhere...they do it because they love it too. Nobody would even question it if there weren't already a dozen people out there rooted and doing fine.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mountaineerndixie:
I've already invested my money here, thanks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TB13:
I understand these things take time, but when people are supporting you and counting on you, you don't just tell them it will be done when its done and leave them in the dark waiting. Updates every once and a while wouldn't be very hard to provide and they would keep people donating because they know its being worked on. Just giving 2 people s-off and telling everyone else to wait isn't cool especially when we are donating and patiently waiting. I might sound like a ****, but its how I feel.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcase:
They are not actively demanding donations, in fact the donation button doesn't even appear until after you have downloaded, and generated a beta key from http://alpharev.nl/x/beta/. Which does not LIST your device anywhere.

No where does it say "donate to get it" or "donate and we work faster".

Sensitive things are done when they are done. Would you rather they push out something that turns out bad, and bricks a large number of devices? Course not, People would be *****ing and blaming them.

xGunther got his s-off for RISKING his device during testing, mine was s-off when I got it, and I am unaware of the details behind it.

People are freaking out like it is taking months, when they just recently even announced support for this device.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bridgy84:
Sorry If i came off that way. It was not my intention. I was just hoping to get people to exercise some patience and possibly think of the developers more as people than machines that have nothing in their life to do but code.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mountaineerndixie:
I know, man. I'm sorry too. Between working midnights and watching for s-off I'm a bit edgy...lol. I love what these guys do and I give $ as I can to show it. I just want us to all be able to grow this community.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcase:
A dozen? I haven't heard of a dozen, or anywhere near that number done with their method on the inc2.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TB13:
I never said anything about them demanding donations, I just mentioned that the people who did donate would like an update every once in a while. Not an ETA, just updates on how its going for the people who have donated and the people that are going to when it is released. I would love to see an update every once and a while and I bet others would too.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mountaineerndixie:
There isn't a dozen....bad choice of word. I was rambling. There have been a few on twitter that I've seen but that's it.

I'm not trying to make enemies here, just the opposite. I'll just say that I'm hopeful that a release comes soon so we can start flashing instead of bashing.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcase:
I'm pretty confident the most vocal of those who complain about devs, are typically the ones that don't donate. They have provided updates, watch their IRC.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TB13:
I have been watching the IRC. I just think most of the BS here and over at the IRC could have been avoided if we weren't left in the dark. I guess getting an update is like getting a fix. You are satisified for a while, then you come back for another. If you get a "fix" every once and a while you stay happy, but if you get cut off, bad stuff starts to happen IE all of the crap here at XDA and the people moaning and groaning at the IRC. I really do appericate everything they are doing I just think they should show the people who support them some love.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mountaineerndixie:
lol......stock ROM's I like, stock STOCK that I can't change? I'm done with it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcase:
I don't see how anyone is on the dark, I have seen it explained many times. It is a beta, vivow support comes in the second beta. It will be tasty when they believe that it is stable, safe and ready.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] REDSCARFACE1:
I thanked you because your ignorance reminded me of why I quit working on getting phones rooted and making ROMs and recoverys people like you make others suffer and also make devs stop caring. Thanks Again for saving me time with my family.

GREAT REMINDER OF IGNORANCE
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SikYou:
+1! I developed roms for a long time and people make it very frustrating. I'm not sure how people who don't know how to develop anything decide to make decisions on how developers should proceed with their work. I own 4 android devices and I have stopped all development, this is the only way of preventing people from trying to control what I develop.

One idea, for all the kids that are whining, let them test the beta. If they brick their phone... Oh well, you asked for it.

(waiting for new "released" topic)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] eganraC:
that's a damn shame, well for the record...I am one of the greatfuls that will wait patiently and donate once released...not all of us customers are nutcups.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] DeviceSettings:
IF you want root right out of the box buy a Nexus S or a phone that is already rooted. Otherwise be patient. Look at past phones, sometimes it takes a while. You can ***** to HTC if they ship a phone with software issues, you cant ***** at a Dev who does it for free or very little donations. Its like someone taking you out to dinner and you complaining about the place, food and service. Easy solution is, pay for you own dinner. So if you want to ***** learn how to Dev. Otherwise. Wait.
