Hello,

I am a DINC owner and I am working on my brother's VZW DINC2 and I am trying to gain root.

First I installed the the newest GB RUU. (His phone was stuck on stock froyo and but would not update.) It installed flawlessly.

( RUU_Vivo_W_Gingerbread_S_VERIZON_WWE_3.02.605.1_Ra dio_1.09.01.0622_NV_VZW1.92_release_202929_signed from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1033922 )

Then I ran the unrevoked beta and it installed without error and then installed clockworkmod recovery from it as well.

Now after I installed Root explorer, TI, CWM, busy box and superuser but they all claim to not be able to access root? I rebooted and tried again but not dice.

I ran unrevoked beta again and it said it was already s-off. Is there a special DINC2 trick I missed? Any ideas or troubleshooting suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

-Paul

am i the only one who wonders why Verizon has added no lte to Virginia...not VA beach Richmond or north VA...any idea why?
[Thunderbolt General] duckwizzle:
There is 4g in Richmond, and DC I believe. I was at Busch Gardens yesterday and I had 4G. After the tunnel 4G died.
[Thunderbolt General] brisdaddy1207:
Shoot I'm in northeast Ohio and we have none. My buddy lives in chesapeake Va actually on landing creek and he has natelos wireless if I spelled that right and said his phone speed is soo slow. I told him that Verizon should have LTE there, but I guess I was bullshing LOL. Oh well.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
/me builds you a tower

did you complain to Verizon yet? That would be more effective.
[Thunderbolt General] ghstrdr1985:
Northern VA & DC have 4G. Richmond has spotty 4G. Richmond is supposed to be complete by October 1st...
[Thunderbolt General] queva1:
4g in bg cool I will be there soon I will have to check it out, by the tunnel you referring to the hbbt? I

Wonder why verizon has so much 4g that is not marked on their coverage map?
[Thunderbolt General] jkane001:
really? I was at Busch gardens on Saturday, and not only did I not have 4g, I barely had 3g.
[Thunderbolt General] baronmxc:
Richmond VA has 4G mainly in Mechanicsville and the VCU area. Spoty in the North Highland Park area and the West End is straight 3G (although the West End got a glimpse of 4G for a day around the end of July)

In Northern VA it stops at around Woodbridge, a little spoty in Dale City however. Not sure how far west but I do believe Leesburg, Ashburn and Sterling all have 4G. If the person above is right who said Richmond would be complete around October, then it shouldn't be long after for Fredericksburg to be upgraded as well as its the mid way point between DC and Richmond on I-95.
[Thunderbolt General] ghstrdr1985:
All info about 4G being completed by October 1 was from a Verizon employee. He seemed like he knew a thing or two about all this.
[Thunderbolt General] coolguy540:
I'm from Virginia too about 2hours away from Richmond and there's no 4g so like why even have a 4g phone
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
im in between Los Angeles and San Diego and no 4G here on the beach... yet most of Los Angeles and San Diego have 4G.

Verizon is supposed to do another big 4G expansion on the 15th of this month so hopefully we're all included this time.
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
I guess the real question is why buy a 4g phone if you don't have 4g coverage in your area???
[Thunderbolt General] jmcq:
Going west on Rt. 7 or the Dulles Greenway, 4G drops out in the middle of Ashburn, and unfortunately does not reach Leesburg and towns west at this time. And at the point you lose 4G, there is a dead period of about 30 seconds or so with no network connection at all, so something isn't working quite right in the network handoff to 3G. I've also lost voice calls during this tower transfer as well, though it's not as bad as it used to be.

Even in Sterling near Dulles Airport, 4G occasionally drops, but is generally reliable, although resetting the Network Mode on the phone's settings is sometimes necessary to get 4G there when traveling from a 3G area. Probably due to it being a border region.
[Thunderbolt General] nrage23:
I turned on my 4g around VCU today. I can confirm that it works.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
I drove through the western tip of Virginia this weekend (around Rt 23/Interstate 26) and probably obvious to anyone that knows the geography of Virginia, there is no LTE there. I can't even remember if they have 3g there, haha. I don't recall any LTE until you hit either Charlotte, NC or Greenville, SC heading south and nothing until Columbus, OH or Cincinnati, OH heading north.
[Thunderbolt General] ece4free:
Blacksburg and Christiansburg have had total 4G coverage for over a month now, since before the semester started.

It seems like places with high profile athletic teams are getting most of this current expansion wave. Blacksburg was probably an ideal market for stress testing because the towns population triples when the students return, and then almost doubles again during football games.
[Thunderbolt General] nrage23:
I guess it is good for us here in Richmond that VCU went to the Final Four.
[Thunderbolt General] baronmxc:
I believe he is telling the truth. I have seen a lot of Verizon workers at tower sites around Richmond lately.

EDIT: this was a response to ghstrdr1985's last response. The quote didn't go thru I guess.
[Thunderbolt General] ghstrdr1985:
:( If only we had actually won...we might actually have 4G by now.:p
[Thunderbolt General] baronmxc:
Richmond 4G Update: I noticed stronger 4G reception in the Highland Park area today. And parts of the West End are getting lit up but once you get to West Broad/ Parham Rd going towards Short Pump, it goes back to 3G.

Anyone from the Richmond area want to help make a 4G map? VZW does not have us on their planned 4G roll out for 2011 and there is no indication of 4G on their map even though VCU has had 4G for about 2 months now. This user created map will help visitors and others know where to expect 4G signals.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
I had a reply to that, but thought better than saying it, haha :)
[Thunderbolt General] Neverendingxsin:
Be nice if we got 4g already
[Thunderbolt General] ghstrdr1985:
LOL
[Thunderbolt General] manns:
Discovered 4G today in Mechanicsville. Was driving so I didn't get any time to play with it, but had full signal along 295.

I guess they are getting more and more areas online each day.
[Thunderbolt General] oc3rulz:
was in Outer Banks this summer, driving through Norfolk they had 4G. But everywhere else after I left Columbus, OH, had no 4G.
[Thunderbolt General] nhizzat:
i see 4G nearly everywhere i go in northern VA and the whole DC/MD/VA area. what're you talking about OP?
[Thunderbolt General] tyrich30:
Anyone that lives in the Hampton Roads, the tower at the Lee Hall exit on 64 LTE is turned on.
[Thunderbolt General] baronmxc:
Many people who do not live in N-VA are not aware of current lit up 4G areas in VA. They rely on the 4G Rollout map, and that only has one VA city listed (Bristol, VA) even though there are more areas with 4G.

For the OP, keep in mind that Northern VA for the most part is part of the DC market. Whatever DC gets Northern VA will have as well.

To help others know where 4G is, Current list of VA cities with 4G:

*Northern VA (even though I know where 4G is lit up in this area i need feedback with a break down of what cities in this area have 4G, please pm me and I will update).

* Eastern Half of Richmond, VA

* Blacksburg

* Christainsburg

* Hampton Roads (around the I-64 corridor)

* Bristol, VA

* Norfolk

PM me with any additions, corrections, or updates. I will have a cleaner list and hopefully a general map.
[Thunderbolt General] Br0wNb0y:
I'm in Northern VA right now and I'm not getting 4g. I can't seem to get it to pick up the signal. I'm located right now in Alexandria. Anyone else with issues?
[Thunderbolt General] scook9:
4G From Sterling all the way down to DC and Alexandria. I think it extends south from there to about Woodbridge.

Norther Virginia has pretty good coverage actually.....
[Thunderbolt General] KeithRVA:
Getting 4g this morning in Colonial Heights VA. Download 6.5mbps. Sweeeeet!
[Thunderbolt General] stedrocklp:
There is definitely no 4G anywhere around Bush Gardens. Maybe you were dreaming
[Thunderbolt General] Mootarjim:
I've had my T-Bolt since launch weekend, and I've had 4G from DC (home) to Reston (work) the entire time. There are definitely pockets of 3G in between, but my experience has been really good.
[Thunderbolt General] nrage23:
Picked up LTE for a bit South of the James in Richmond around Manchester Courthouse. (14th and Commerce)
[Thunderbolt General] keith.mcintyre26:
Yeah man I live in woodlake. Had it for about 3 hours and pulled 23 down. Miss it terribly.
[Thunderbolt General] ghstrdr1985:
I had it in Richmond on west broad near channel 6 & all the way back near Chesterfield Town Center. It was only for a few hours, though. Maybe something promising very soon? :-)
[Thunderbolt General] baronmxc:
It's official for Richmond, Hampton Roads, and Roanoke.

Richmond and Hampton Roads by Oct. 20

Roanoke by the end of 2011

The official documentation here:

[Thunderbolt General] keith.mcintyre26:
Thanks for the info. Extended battery time.
[Thunderbolt General] kallyjk:
It showed up for a few minutes this afternoon in Norfolk. I imagine it'll be coming soon.
[Thunderbolt General] duckwizzle:
Naw, there is. I went back there last weekend and had it in the parking lot again. Now, 10 miles from the ocean front in VA Beach I get 4G. It's spotty here but getting better
[Thunderbolt General] baronmxc:
Norfolk and Virginia Beach are scheduled to be live by October 20. See the official documentation in my above post.

Even though Busch Gardens may have 4G, Williamsburg is still having the 4G network built out, hence the reason it hasn't made the October 20th expansion in VA. I would predict that it would be live before the end of the year. Folks in Williamsburg should look out for an increase in Verizon utility trucks on the road as this would be a sign of 4G coming very soon. This is what is currently happening in Richmond. They are everywhere haha.
[Thunderbolt General] queva1:
Sweet Roanoke is 45 min away from me! Bring 4g love to lynchburg!
[Thunderbolt General] keith.mcintyre26:
Downtown and south of the James has it now.
[Thunderbolt General] kallyjk:
Downtown Norfolk has had it all morning. Hoping I have it in Suffolk when I get home!! Lol
[Thunderbolt General] baronmxc:
That would be correct. At 12am this morning , 4G was turned on in a bunch of places. Since its been on for almost 12 hours, I'm hoping it stays on so we don't have to wait for the official turn on date of October 20. I think they have done enough testing from June-September that they have no need to tease us again.

I live near John Tucker HS in the West End
[Thunderbolt General] tyrich30:
I know from Ft Eustis to the tunnel it has been turned on all morning. But a few weeks ago a rep said it would be turned on Sept 30. I guess he was right.
[Thunderbolt General] bladerelic:
RIR

i live two blocks across the street from Richmond International Raceway, and i am proud to report that 4G is on and working!:D:D:D:D:D:D
[Thunderbolt General] ghstrdr1985:
I live right around the corner from St. Francis Medical Center & can confirm 4G LTE is now up & running over here.:D:cool:
[Thunderbolt General] baronmxc:
I work right across the street from RIR lol
[Thunderbolt General] ghstrdr1985:
I can confirm 4G is in Ashland as well.
[Thunderbolt General] duckwizzle:
VA Beach - 1 mile from Pembroke Mall 4G confirmed
[Thunderbolt General] ghstrdr1985:
After being in the heart of Richmond city today, it has 4G live & it seems as though LTE signals span approximately 30-40 radius of the city limits. Any thoughts?
[Thunderbolt General] KeithRVA:
Driving around the last few days, I've found that 4g is live South to Colonial Heights, East to Mechanicsville, and West to Short Pump. I read that it is live up north in Ashland. It seems to be on 24hrs a day now, for awhile it was only on in the mornings.
[Thunderbolt General] ghstrdr1985:
Yeah it does seem to be on 24 hours but it seems intermittent at times. For example, I'm connected to the tower & it says it's LTE but no 4G. The only way to get 4G back is to enable airplane mode & then disable it.
[Thunderbolt General] baronmxc:
I haven't seen this yet but hopefully by October 20th, all issues you are having will be sorted out. This day is the actual turn on day for Richmond. See my earlier post for the official documentation.

*Note: with LTE in Richmond now, wireless tethering is super fast. Downloaded a 1GB file and it completed in about 5 minutes.

[Thunderbolt General] Beamer9408:
Have had 4g. For 5 straight days from the ocean front vb to Oscar Smith in Chesapeake and to Hampton Blvd in Norfolk haven't dropped it yet but my local Verizon told me out will be on officially oct 20

I have 4G everywhere I go in Virginia Beach.. but is it mew... or are the speeds... kinda... meh... At home, I can barely pull 2mbps down, and for some reason, 4 up...In fact, my average down is like 3mbps (once I'm somewhere besides where I live, cause at home, the speeds are awful)

Lynchburg LTE

The Verizon retail store employees in Lynchburg are being told January 2012 for LTE deployment in the area.
[Thunderbolt General] queva1:
Sweet....I love having 4g when I'm out of town....to have it at home will be great!
[Thunderbolt General] iceman99393:

[Thunderbolt General] seeingwhite:
lol. There are a few of us out there.... :D
[Thunderbolt General] queva1:
Still no 4g in Lynchburg.... Anyone have any news on it?
[Thunderbolt General] seeingwhite:
Yeah, I have heard some updated rumblings in the past few weeks. The newest word from multiple sources is earliest of end of February, latest of sometime in April.

From what I am hearing, my guess would be March, but closer to April. Those of you with Verizon 4G phones in Lynchburg should be checking daily to see if you can catch them testing it.

Verizon hasn't been very transparent with 2012 LTE launches up to this point, so I am hoping for a big announcement or series of announcements soon. Maybe we will hear more as we get closer to MWC.
[Thunderbolt General] Andlamv:
Got 4G in newport news since october
[Thunderbolt General] BonezMontana:
The Snowflex has 4g. I haven't checked out Liberty's campus yet. I went to the Snowflex back in Nov and had a 4g connection. Not sure where the tower is located.
[Thunderbolt General] queva1:
Interesting I'm around lu often no 4g for me sounds like I'm gonna have to take a trip up the hill to snowflex
[Thunderbolt General] seeingwhite:
After more talk with area reps, I don't think they have any solid info on when 4G is coming to the 'burg. I was evening hearing December for a few weeks, and then most recently I have heard August/September. So I would guess that we will likely see 4G sometime in 2012, but unknown on exactly when.

From some research I have been doing, I think part of the problem may be with backhaul. Some of the sites don't have the necessary infrastructure in place yet. I even saw a crew burying fiber along Rt 29 north of Lynchburg the other day, which I was surprised to see. The other problem is that Verizon is trying to increase the height on some of their towers in the area -- which would be great. So we will just have to wait and hope for sooner rather than later.

tl:dr, 4G probably sometime in 2012, but who knows exactly when.
[Thunderbolt General] seeingwhite:
Just an update for anyone still interested. The side of the road near one of the main towers on Candlers Mountain Road has been marked for digging and burial of Verizon fiber optic cable (this is needed so the 4G LTE equipment can deliver the faster speeds and bandwidth) and leads right up to the tower. This is great news, and seems to be in agreement with the rumors of a summer/early fall deployment of Verizon LTE.

On the US Cellular front, I checked out one of their towers the other day and saw no evidence of significant infrastructure upgrade yet, despite their summer deployment time-frame. It is still possible that they could do this very quickly though.

Id kill for some 4G love in va
[Thunderbolt General] seeingwhite:
What area of the state are you in?
[Thunderbolt General] Neverendingxsin:
Im in the fredricksburg area
[Thunderbolt General] reddtessa:
Dang no 4g for me either...at home or base.

I am here in Woodbridge, just a few blocks North of Dumfries off Rt. 1 and no 4G at my home, but if I go over to the Verizon Store next to CVS I do, go figure. Of course no 4G for me on Quantico either :-(
[Thunderbolt General] scook9:
If you are in the fredericksburg area you should be killing for ANY verizon love...that area is rough

Relatives down there have to use ATT as Verizon is just not an option - it is sad to hear such a thing haha
[Thunderbolt General] seeingwhite:
Since your on 95 and right between DC and Richmond, I imagine you will have 4G deployed sometime in the near future.
[Thunderbolt General] reddtessa:
Since about 1100 today in Woodbridge, Dumfries line, I have been getting about 3-4 bars of 4G...crossing my fingers that it stays.
[Thunderbolt General] seeingwhite:
Glad to hear it. What are you speeds?
[Thunderbolt General] scook9:
Just a heads up, I got a Galaxy Nexus recently and am loving it. My thunderbolt was doing fine but wanted to upgrade and saw nothing more compelling in the near future.

Despite the Thunderbolt being a LTE Cat. 3 device, the Galaxy Nexus is regularly pulling MUCH higher bandwidth (like 40mbps vs 18 at my desk at work)
[Thunderbolt General] seeingwhite:
What area of NoVA are you in?

Regarding the two phones, that is a huge difference in speeds! That's almost hard to believe.
[Thunderbolt General] reddtessa:
Going on 3 days with nothing but 4G

still new to the android but here is the csv I emailed myself, with IP's removed..sorry lol.:

Not too bad I guess. But love my home fios speeds better, lol.

[Thunderbolt General] seeingwhite:
Not bad, but there doesn't seem to be a huge difference between your speeds and T-mobile's HSPA+. I assume its just a bandwidth issue.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
I was able to 16.5 Mb/s yesterday. With Thunderstick's Full Blown ROM I was only getting 6.

[Thunderbolt General] Neverendingxsin:
I can report that Stafford Virginia has 4G :)
[Thunderbolt General] reddtessa:
I am so jealous and blurting some not so nice words right now. :D
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Lol... One of the nice parts of living in a slightly rural area where most people don't have 4g phones
[Thunderbolt General] seeingwhite:
Yeah but wait for a year and everyone will have a 4g phone and the speeds will drop. Then you will be the last to get a needed infrastructure upgrade since you're rural. Been there, done that. :D
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Honestly, it will be a long time before they upgrade again. Look how long 3g has been around. Even if a bunch more people get on 4g its not a big deal because the population is still smaller than most areas.

I no longer have a thunderbolt either I got a nexus off contract for a steal and couldn't resist, but I'm happy to report that people are now seeing 4g intermittently in Lynchburg and even as far out as amherst! It's coming people.... Finally!! I've been seeing 6-10 down and 3-6 up!

I can personally confirm amherst near industrial Park and lynchburg timberlake rd around kroger!
[Thunderbolt General] MrDew87:

[Thunderbolt General] baronmxc:
Yes it is. LTE has "officially" been here since October 2011. I thought the speeds would have gone down due to more users but it is still around the same speeds since launch.

I know Fredericksburg, VA got 4G a couple months ago but I haven't tested the speeds out there yet. Haven't been travelling around VA since April.
[Thunderbolt General] queva1:
Yea I thought 4 was a little slow to.... Later on I got 13 so it could been a fluke either way it's better than 3g.....I got 600mb downloaded in the 30 min or so that I was using it!
