PartedMagic 6.3

I just dnloaded PartedMagic 6.3.

It now comes in x86_64 bit. (I just have a P4 tho).

It's cool to be able to hot swap hdd's without reboot. The ISO loads to RAM.

This was my "get ready to root Android adventure", then I found 1click.

I think WHINERSWAY0000 or whatever he thinks he might be, is actually a spy from HTC trying to disrupt things here in the free world.

If I took all that R & D to create a ROOT I would track some IP addresses and charge double for whiners...

I won't get mine untill October anyway. But if Vomitrizen discontinues the unit before then, I will have to wait and see.

Hey, whinersway0000, want to trade for an LG Fathom?

Well you could test the beta..... that's what it's there for isn't it? Lol I just got the inc2 a couple days ago and thinking of giving it a shot. Has nobody in this thread even tried it? It seems like everyone is too scared and waiting for a full release and calling it a fake without even testing the beta... I could be way off base but this is the vibe I am getting reading this thread. Unless these people actually give the beta a shot, I don't see them having any right to claim its fake.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] troyftw:
IIRC the beta doesn't support the vivo_W... just saying
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ruvort:
I am new to HTC devices. What is the vivo _w? I honestly have been using Moto devices during my android career and this is new water for me. I wasn't trying to come off as a jerk to anyone, honestly would like to learn is all ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] troyftw:
vivo_w = inc2

edit- on a side note, I can't believe that after all the time I have spent on this site I have never posted until today... wierd (having to wait 5 mins between posts FTL)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ruvort:
Gotcha. Then that does put a damper on the beta then. Lol. I still wouldn't bash their project though and am sure a vivo_w supported beta will be out in no time. Thank you for informing me of this info btw ;)

As always guys, the only way to get rid of the trolls and *****es is to ignore them; it works every time. S-off WILL come and hopefully we will have gotten rid of most of the douchebags so that we don't have to deal will them in our rom/mod threads.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kingsway8605:
Sure they don't "advertise" it but they are having their cronies post all over here about some imaginary root. I refer you to my previous post about ignoring it. I would rather not continue to argue with you about something I am obviously right about and risk a mod banning me. When, or actually if, Alphrev releases root, I will admit you were right. But I can promise you that won't happen.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcase:
Sean,

Could care less if you admit anything, no one could care what some kid admits to. You are here to interfere with legitimate development. Several people (including the phone I have) had inc2's rooted by alpharevx during testing, I posted plenty of video/pictures before XTC clip even supported the phone.

Your behavior is childish, and you have no place on the development boards.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcase:
Rarely do a feel like an idiot, especially when I have proof of it in front of me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcase:
Fyi I'll have an xtc clip available in Sequim WA later this week if needed
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mr. Clown:
Closing his thread temporary for cleanup. What's wrong with you guys? Can you stay on topic without argumentative behaviour. I'm going to start issuing bans here. Please understand that this is NOT customer service demanding stuff form devs.."when is this going to be ready", "I'm tired of coming everyday and not seeing any updates".

Developers invest FREE TIME for this and you don't have the right to come here demanding things. I will not tolerate this kind of attitude because this is not what the community of XDA is intended for.

Also, NOBODY FORCES TO NO ONE TO DONATE...donations are well received but doesn't gives the right of demanding...since it isn't a service transaction!. Please read the rules about donations.

EDIT: Thread reopened and cleaned for the second time. My patience has limits. Please don't say I didn't give you a warning.

Perhaps we can simply change the title of the thread to "Discussion of S-off for Dinc2 - In Development". What do you guys think, that will keep a lot of people from double and triple checking the thread thinking it may have been released already.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
From what I can tell the hardware root costs money and is more immediately reachable. The software root is free and could brick your phone...prob more to it but I just know I'm waiting :-)

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
We already have root. We need S-OFF to make it stick. I believe what is needed, now, is recovery.

Root allows us to access the hardware with elevated permissions so we can write to it (mostly). S-OFF removes the security that prevents us from writing the changes permanently. Recovery allows us to do the rest that is required for flashing our own ROMs, perform backups, and recover, if required. Without recovery, the work is unsafe and we really can't do much outside of rooting our devices.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mountaineerndixie:
I need a rooted phone to do what I want to do but I'm not going to buy a clip. I can use my girlfriend's EVO until s-off is released.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ignitionnight:
This was almost 3 weeks ago.

This is the only problem I have with the AlphaRev release. xgunther and jcase have continually said "soon" or any day now for two weeks.

I bought my phone knowing there was a signed bootloader and permanent root was not available.

But when AlphaRev started dangling the fruit and saying soon, I feel like I am being teased.

I would much rather have the team tell us August 30th, then keep us waiting for the any day now release.

I do very greatly appreciate the work the team has put in, in no way am I complaining about that. There is a reason I check this thread once a day.

I just think they could have done a better job with the "PR" of this software.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] spence341:
Thanks for the laugh this morning...

1. alpharevx did not start this thread and if you were the guniea pig that took the risk I bet you would have posted the same type of thread.

2. PR is generally used by a company or individual that is trying to get you to buy a product or service.

Not sure about anyone here but I have yet to see any solicitation by alpharevx... XTC Clip on the other hand wants your cash, so pony up to them or get some cheese to go with that whine!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
I look at it this way: when the devs release it, they release it. I am looking forward to it, but it's not critical that I have it at this point. I can still do the critical things with my phone, perm root and S-OFF are just gravy.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] anonymous-x:
My 1st post w/the Inc2, thanks for doing this. It's good to see this work of yours come to life. I've left moto behind & returned to HTC.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mountaineerndixie:
The only solicitation I've seen has been donations to purchase a Dinc2 for ROM development, which is already bearing fruit. Thanks for the ROM's btw guys....cannot wait to try.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wowens0822:
I've been watching this thread since it started. It's sad to read half of what is posted. Keep pushing them, and getting on them.

I'd hold off on the release if I saw this.

They are doing this for you DInc2 owners.

Be Patient!

Geez!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
Well i hope they wouldn't take the people posting their frustration as words from all of us. Lots of inc2 users quietly and patiently waiting. Just because we don't post our .02 doesn't mean we're not greatful and eager for some great software development.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dg4prez:
I agree. I think the majority are just keeping their mouths shut. I have been. I'm psyched to get s-off and I think that these guys are fantastic. Without them there's no incredible 2 modding scene save for those willing to use an xtc. I'll definitely be kicking in at least what they're spending over at the xtc clip group buy to alpha.

None of which means I don't obsessively check this thread nearly once an hour.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] xgunther:
Let me make this very clear, again. I do not have any knowledge what-so-ever in regards to the inner-workings over at Alpharev. I was told by one of the developers when he gave me S-Off, that we would see a public release very soon. However, it was my opinion that "very soon" meant "any day now." I apologize for giving anyone false hope.

I want S-Off for everyone, just as bad as you do. The more people that are S-Off, the more development that can be done.

well whether its valve time, AMOLED DINC waiting time, or DNF(Nukem, not the other thing) time, it shouldnt matter. All of us DINC 2 owners who peruse this thread are foaming at the mouth to get this, but remember the longer it takes them, the better(and for that matter, SAFER)the end result will be. I personally would like to thank the alphrev team as well as the people in this thread with informative and useful posts. I will def. be donating once this is released.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ignitionnight:
I never meant to imply that you or jcase were purposefully leading us on (although I know that is how it came off).

I do appreciate you keeping us up to date, but sometimes it gets hard to hear "soon" and "maybe tomorrow" and not have it hit. Not your fault, or the devs, but still has the same effect.

I still think it would have been nice had the devs come out and said "its not ready yet and wont be for a few weeks."

That said I would MUCH rather them take their time and do it right than release it early and screw up some phones.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ignitionnight:
Oh by the way, Mobile.engadget.com and droid-life.com are teases.

They link to a page on the CM7 wiki that gives direct instructions on how to use alpharevx to achieve s-off. If you don't read the entire page it would be easy to miss this:

no, they can link up to were the person can take control of your computer so, they just installed it on their phone like that. remote computing. very cool.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Sherwood1:
I hope this gets released before gingerbread ota because a lot of people might download by mistake.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] CannibalAngel:
This just occured to me. Maybe AlphaRevX is waiting to release there root until the Gingerbread OTA is released. They could be working on a root method that works with it and are holding off on a release until people update to Gingerbread. Just a thought.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
highly doubt it. but I could be VERY wrong.

jcase has already said not to upgrade to OTA if you want alpharev root.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] CannibalAngel:
He also said he has no idea about the inner workings at AlphaRevX. Or was that someone else?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bradleyz:
If I'm not mistaken, AlphaRev website says *somewhere* not to upgrade. Or maybe twitter.

sent from my incarcerated Incredible 2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jhitesma:
Heck, they could be waiting until the OTA hits so it will weed out the people who don't/won't/can't read instructions. Would save a lot of support time for them since their setup could be set to just give a "you shouldn't have accepted the upgrade" message for those who jump the gun on the OTA ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
from their website, it seems they are using a form of "runrevoked" and anyone with an inc1 knows how user friendly that is. I have faith in AlpharevX they WILL have software root out. but it takes TIME. the reason XTC came so fast is because it is a hardware root requiring.. hardware.. and a stable software root will happen. It took at least this long to root the inc1 I'd exact the same from inc2 since it's locked even harder. it was common knowledge back then as well not to upgrade to OTA waiting for root. I think that the OTA will drop, probably in this weekend or next week, itll take a bit to pass it to everyone, then a little while after that AlpharevX will drop. so if you wanna wait, wait, if you like me and many others want it now were willing to pay for it. Heck I've donated hundreds in the inc section. the eris as well.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jhitesma:
Don't get me wrong, I'm in no hurry and fully understand. I've had projects of my own that have taken longer than they should have because I got stuck spending more time answering "when will it be done" e-mails from the client than I was about to actually work on the project. I learned the hard way that delivering less than fully polished work to show progress in those situations just makes the project drag on even longer. Better to listen to the client whine a little about it taking longer than they want in the long run.

I just know if it was me building it no matter how user friendly I make it I'd probably wait until after the OTA myself just to weed out the people who won't follow instructions. Let them block themselves so I don't have to deal with them and can focus on new projects instead.

That's not meant to be a complaint or slam against the guys working on this. Just what I'd be doing if it was me ;) But then again I can't stand helping people who don't seem to have the patience to follow instructions and wait for finished product ;)
