my hboot is .97 and it says .99 is needed? I keep getting a time out error

woops nvm, had a wire in backwards, .. were S-OFF baby!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mikejaret:
im new to the HTC realm of phones, historically have used all motorolas....is this not an actual software unlock? am i correct in thinking this is a $100 unit that turns s-off on these phones?

sorry for the nub question
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcase:
Hit me up, got a few things for ya
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcase:
This is a hardware unlock, that turns security off. A software unlock exists as well (which was used on my phone), but is still in testing.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mikejaret:
Well I hope it comes soon, I updated to this gb ruu rom and the radio is awful...I direly need to update modems

Now that the xtc clip supports the Inc2 what are the advantages of purchasing this opposed to waiting on Alpharev? Thanks in advance

OMG root is so fresh. worth the wait. anyone near upstate ny, I have 5 credits left.

sent from a phone soon to have root!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
I'm sure alpha will be out pretty damn soon, i was expecting them to be before XTC actually, it'll be worth the wait though theres really only one rom out that is anything special so id try the temp root for a bit.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TB13:
Anybody have a XTC clip I could borrow? :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcase:
You can still use an xtc clip to s off then downgrade

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] littlebo:
Hey man , do you get sim unlock while unlocked security ? If so then its a big advantage compared to alpharev, you have 2 in 1 , s-off + sim unlock.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] AmbientBlu:
I'm in the same boat as a few of the other posters here - just got my DInc2 and, of course, it was shipped with 2.3.3. Turning off Sense and going with LauncherPro made it a bit easier to handle the bloatware (out of sight, out of mind) and I wasn't much for crazy modded ROMS on my Eris, but I do miss a few things about cyanogenmod and would very much like to be able to have total access to this phone; I'm morally opposed to being locked down!

So now rages the debate - do I buy the XTC clip and just hope I never have to return the phone for any reason and, if I do, hope they don't check for S-on ... or do I put my faith in AlphaRev and just wait for them to find an exploit in the GB update? Patience is surely not one of my virtues.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Pico:
anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area have a clip available or know of any shop that will unlock the phone
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
I totally agree, I hope it is unlimited, from what I understood from the group buy, even though it says unlimited. you get 100 credits so it isn't technically unlimited. once you get it just plug it in and open up the software and it will tell you how many credits you have. but for $100 1 credit is a RIP
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
Got my phone delivered today. No luck, GB was preloaded. I need a clip in Orlando!! If anyone has one nearby, let me know. If not, I'm sure to order one in a few weeks.

Verzion keeps their refurbs up to date, you will NOT get one with froyo. weve had TWO gingerbread updates. sorry guys, but a clip is needed.

I have a clip in the Sequim WA area available, and I require a decent bottle of wine for use (cheaper than buying a credit).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Stam2000:
Ordered on the 26th. Still not here and tracking sucks ass. Royal mail says it is in New York and USPS says its in UK still. Been that way since last Tuesday

I used to live in downtown seattle then give years later military stations me at fort lewis.

I was able to successfully get s-off my Inc2. I would like to ask one question. Will the micro sim card used for gold card be required everytime I use the phone.

If not, is it possible to remove the gold card from the microsim.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mr Lime v2:
Wow that really sucks man. What happened exactly?

Sent from my Locked Down Droid Incredible 2 :(
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pigman46:
Well I was able to S-OFF my phone, but it only worked the second time I tried. I noticed I was using the wrong sim-flex-cable, so just to be sure I wanted to try again because trying to flash cwm it kept saying "no permission." But this time I tried with the 9V battery, and as soon as I attached it, poof! Magic smoke. I found the exact model of the transistor that blew, so I ordered one. I'll let you guys know if my operation to fix it is successful. If it does work, I have a handful of friends' phones to S-OFF. Then I might be willing to ship it around.

p.s. Every time I ran it, the usage counter incremented +2. What's the deal with that?

Just as a social experiment, I'd like to see how far a single device gets through the community. lol

Anyone in New Mexico with one of these bad boys?

I'm up in Los Alamos, but am willing to travel down to Albuquerque or so... I also travel up to Colorado (Colorado Springs & Denver) from time to time, so I can meet up with someone anywhere in-between or around any of these cities...

So- is there anyone with an XTC Clip in my area? I'd be willing to throw in a little cash, especially if it costs to get me unlocked...:D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
why do you guys use a 9v battery.. just keep it connected to the computer.. no worry about battery dying. i just dont get it personally...

i have a clip with 3 creds left. only local deals. near the city of New York.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
The way I see it, yea.. HTC will eventully unlock bootloaders, but we have to submit all this personal information, id rather buy an XTC clip for this phone and ones down the road instead of giving Verizon and HTC my info for rooting. not thanks.. my suggestion to you all. scrape up the $50 and get a clip!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] micdawg12:
Anyone seen "open zip file fail" using the xtc clip?

Nevermind guys, squash got me situated. I was doing the "reflash" you have to go into diag and clear s58.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mr Lime v2:
Alright, so I am S-Off but confused as hell about how to actually root. Every website or forum link tells me to do something else. Like I said, I am S-Off with the XTC Clip, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing next! Would really appreciate a helping hand. I'll be sure to give thanks! ;)

Edit: Obviously I'm on 2.3.3. I'm running Windows, but I have OSX too. Thanks.

Pretty sure all you need to do now is load a custom recovery in hboot.

Trying to avoid having to dish out $70+ dollars for the device. I guess that it'll have to happen if I can't find anybody, though. Anybody know how long shipping usually takes for the device, if I decide to order it? (Living in the U.S.)

Edit: Which site would be better: xtccip.com or xtc.hk? Noticed the latter was almost 15 dollars cheaper... Is there much of a difference between the two sites, other than price?

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Accord281:
Quick tip: After selecting "Clean S58 Data" if you get an error, you probably have the cord going to the clip plugged in upside down where it connects to the clip. It WILL still talk to the phone if it is upside down. Pull the battery on the phone and the clip, disconnect the cord and put it back in contacts UP, and reconnect the batteries. Then boot into HBOOT and do it again. Figured this one out the hard way.

You can sim unlock them without root or anything, but may require a Verizon account and fully paid for phone (unsure, mine was paid for not contract).

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] acdaazn:
If you are talking about switching to GSM mode, it's under "Calls" in settings. However, if you are trying to select which network to connect to, it's under "Wireless & Networks > Mobile Network Settings". It's stupid I know... but that's the only way I can switch between my Verizon network and my overseas GSM when I am waiting on overseas calls.

Anyone have a clip near Los Angeles?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oc3rulz:
so here's my question, I have read their site(didn't see anything saying the number of credits was limited) and see people post about 5 credits left.

Their site says it eliminates the need for credits of logs, but you only have a limited number of uses? I own a cell phone shop and use a site and other tools that require credits, for unlock codes, is this unlimited uses or not?

I am not super concerned about S-Off, I am more in it for some of the other models they have for Windows Phones being SIM Unlocked. I just don't wanna pay for a device that is limited since I already use a credit system.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mean Bro Greene:
There are two versions of the XTC clip from what I have seen. The regular one and a Pay As You Go variety. It's my understanding that the one available directly from the XTC site is a one and done deal, where as the cheaper models you can find on ebay operate on a credit system for unlocks, where you have to buy credits to use the device. I just ordered one of the pay as you go variety, which comes with 2 credits. I'm anxious to see how well it works.
