[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jspradling7:
Instructions and files worked great. Thank you.

Downgraded this Inc2 Red to 2.3.3, used this thread, and went on to put CM7 and CWR 5.0.2.0 on it. Came back here to say "Thanx!" to the OP and the kind folks offering help throughout the thread.

Downgrade from VivoW with hboot 0.98 to .97 not working

How did you do it , i too tried downgrading VivoW with hboot 0.98 to .97, but it is not helping, any help will be appreciated and regarded.

With the help of the VIVOW Downgrade tool, this guide, and some common sense research, I was able set my phone free! Finally! Thanks for the Guide.

If you are having issues with the downgrade, just post in the downgrade thread. Make sure you explain exactly what problem your having. Someone will be glad to help you.

I was able to downgrade hboot .98, root, and flash CM7 in about 30 minutes.

year later still working

Thanks a ton for this guide - a year later it still works.

I'll post a few snags I came across in hopes that it will help someone:

Step 8: I could not get either the revolutionary tool to find the device. It was stuck on "Waiting for device". I notice that HTC Sync never connected either (but I uninstalled it so that the revolutionary tool would work properly). The answer was: when the message above is displaying, go back and selecte USB debugging again. For some reason it was unchecked for me and when I selected it, about 10 seconds later revolutionary recognized it and continued on.

Step 10: Recovery option was not there, just restart the android (be sure to hold power and volume down) and it appears

Step 10: It was hanging on the HTC boot screen. I went back and redid the steps (effectively this means restart from step 6) and this time it worked. Before step 9, make sure your phone has access to the internet (I made sure wifi worked by testing it on a website right before).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rivera82falcon:
A year later and still used? I'm touched! Glad people are still getting good use from this. :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
:D, it's easier than getting a new root method each update, so we just downgrade and use revolutionary again lol.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pieisgood:
Hitting a wall while trying to get s-off. Started with a .98 hboot. Got it downgraded using the tacoroot method to 97 and flashed the ruu zip fine. the radio now shows the 0622 version as well. All seemed well until I started to run revolutionary, but now it just sits there. Below is all I see whenever I run it and it sits there forever. Just to see if I wasn't waiting long enough, I let it run overnight while I slept..yea, still sitting there.

If I reboot the phone, it just boot loops forever until I do a factory reset. Then it's good until next reboot. I can't flash a new radio since I don't have s-off yet. Even tried putting the radio img on the sdcard and naming it the PG32IMG.zip, but that won't flash either when I boot to the bootloader.

Am I suppose to run the revolutionary before I do the --undo command on tacoroot? I've tried everything I can think of. This is my second inc2 to root, but I did my other one about a year ago so I can't remember the exact steps I took last time to make it work. Seems like this is way harder than it needs to be for where I'm at on it.

Stuck in boot loop

So, I followed all of the steps and thought that I successfully rooted my htc inc2...until it has gotten itself stuck in a boot loop that won't end. :confused:

What can I do to fix this?

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Flarbenshweezel:
On Mac, Yet?

Is this possible to do on Mac OSX yet?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] WallHaxx:
Oh god

What have I done... I successfully downgraded to 2.3.3 and moved on to this procedure. I don't have connectivity and the application failed to download, as I expected. I then moved on to manually flashing CWM, and got an insufficient memory error.. (?) Then everything went to hell. The phone went black and can no longer boot. The power button does nothing and the first few times I tried to boot into recovery I got two vibrations. now nothing works. I get a usb error sound when I plug it in and it doesn't even charge (as far as I can tell) What the hell happened? I have a gig of space on my SD. Why would it not have enough memory? How could I brick it if it couldn't flash anything in the first place? Even with a broken screen and loudspeaker (both of which I can fix for under $20) it's still the best phone I've had yet! And now it's a brick! Why!?:crying:

EDIT: I have boot! After several battery/SD/SIM changes I got a regular boot out of her. It was in a boot loop for a little bit, but has stabilized. Booting to recovery still causes two vibrations and nothing works after that(no power, usb error, etc.) until I swap the battery out again. Anyone have an idea of what's going on here? did I wreck my HBoot? Should I try to flash clockwork again? I'm afraid to move forward until I know what I screwed up. I have a healthy fear of brick in me now...

I would greatly appreciate any help I can get. This is a great community, I've learned a great deal here. Thanks.

i was able to get s off using the revolutionary tool, however cwm failed to download. That was last night before you had this guide, and i tried following the guide about manually flashing cwm for noobs, and cant seem to get it to work correct. can i just run the revolutionary program again and follow your instructions? will running the revolutionary tool 2 times be ok?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rivera82falcon:
Running the Revolutionary tool again will immediately detect your phone with S-Off and attempt to install CWM if it doesn't detect it. So, definitely give it a run and see what happens. Make sure you are using the latest version of it though (pre3).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
I ended up running the Revolutionary tool twice... All it said the second time around was that I already had S-Off and wanted to know what I was doing lol... But it did ask if I wanted to download the CWM again. :cool:

alright cool, ill try it again. thank you for the fast response

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tarpit_Carnivore:
When I had to root my Eris the steps involved flashing a pre-rooted ROM. Is this the same with the DInc2? If I can get root & do a quick backup with Titanium I'd love to be able to do that.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rivera82falcon:
No need to flash a rom at all. Doing these steps will get you root on the stock rom. Once you complete the final step, you can perform a backup of the stock rom right away, boot back into the rooted stock rom, install Titanium and perform other backups and whatever you want. :-)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ben805:
You need to put your phone on wifi or 3G before you run the revolutionary tool, if your phone has no network connection being established first it can't download the CMW out of thin air.... :)

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rivera82falcon:
If it is erroring out at the part where you install CWM then its okay. You can either:

1) Download pre3 from there site with is getting good reports that it is working.

2) Go to 9a of the OP and manually install it. Very simple to do and little steps.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] presence06:
If I do this, will it wipe data?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rivera82falcon:
No data will be wiped at all with the steps I provided, anything else is on you.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kyrumo71:
I'm getting the error with pre3, thanks for your help by the way
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] presence06:
thanks for the fast reply. Just did it followed everything. No issues. Rebooting now.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rivera82falcon:
My guess would be to either redownload pre3 and try again.

If it happens still, try to run it as administrator.

Still happens, manually install it.

One of the three should definitely work.

I haven't seen an answer for this, and I'm hoping I'll get some help in this thread. All I plan on doing once I obtain s-off/root is to keep the stock ROM so I can use Titanium. Down the road, if I need to take my phone in for warranty purposes, is it possible to unroot/s-on? If so do instructions for that already exist?

I came from a Fascinate and had used SuperOneClick to go back and forth as necessary...

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rivera82falcon:
It is to my understanding that you cannot revert back to S-On once done...at least not at the moment. This is a software mod so it is very possible that a reverse process will come to light in the future.

@ Arcade16 - Currently working on this now...give me some time. At work and under the weather.

I showed credit to attn1 for that post actually because that is where I received some of my info from too. He did a very nice write up for multiple devices and deserves lots of credit.

:::EDIT:::

Okay, you wanted it...you got it! Files have been uploaded to OP now. For One of the files, you need to go to the revolutionary site and download there because you WILL need the BETA key generated for your phone. The other file is the HTC drivers that you can obtain through hundreds of sources so no need to clog up this site with it. The manual cwm flashing tools for windows and linux, the img file for flashing, and the su/root files are now available for your convenience.

Im having trouble. It doesnt seem to make sense. If the phone is in Charge only mode and it says to make sure it is, you can copy and paste the file as its not an external drive.

"4 - Plug your phone to your computer and make sure your phone says "Charge only". A lot ot people run into issues and no realize this was not selected.

5 - Copy/Cut and Paste the root zip file (do not extract it) onto the root of your SDCard on your phone (ex. x:\ )"

Am I missing something?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SR3TLAW:
update

I managed to get it working(not my first root). Still didnt understand the instructions fully but then again he did do it on a tablet.

Also, if you have some sort of firewall or antivirus be sure to allow the "revolutionary.exe" through your security.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wijg:
Just got my phone s-off/rooted using pre4. I had a couple of issues, first it got stuck at "Waiting for Fastboot". I had put the Revolutionary folder in the fastboot/adb folder, but I instead put the rev files in the fastboot folder and it worked the second time. I don't know if it worked because I put them in a different place or if it just decided to work the second time for another reason, but if that is a requirement, it's not clear that the revolutionary files need to be in the same place as the fastboot/adb files.

Also for some reason when I copied the SU zip to my SD card's root it didn't copy the entire file. I had to re-copy it from my PC and my phone was rooted 1 minute later.

Thanks for a great detailed guide....I'm happy I can use Titanium again!

I'm not having any luck. I'm using revolution 0.4pre4 and it hangs every time after it says:

I've left it there for at least 15 mins each time, sometimes 20 or 30, but no change. The cursor is blinking, so it's not actually frozen.

I've triple-checked everything. I'm in charge only, ran revolution as admin, debugging is on, HTC drivers installed first, no HTC Sync on my PC. I'm sure I'm forgetting something stupid, but I just can't think of it. I've tried rebooting the phone and my PC a few times, too. Anyone have any insight?

Edit: Uninstalled all HTC drivers, reset, tried again, worked. Yay! I think I had something left over on my computer from when I had an Eris.
