[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bigdwg71:
So I just got a droid incredible 2 and was planning to run revolutionary on it to get S-OFF and root it. I tried to get started but apparently I have HBOOT .98 rather than the supported .97.

Does anyone know if the latest OTA is to blame for this or something about new dinc2's?

Is there a way to downgrade HBOOTs?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] beeblebrux:
No, you cannot downgrade, not without root anyway, which you cannot get since it's not supported yet (see here). No clue when it will be, and I doubt anyone else does either

Didn't this forum already go through this once already before the GB root was available? Feels like deja vu
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
Wow, that was quick... Verizon must've already had a batch of new Dinc2's already updated and shipped before they did the OTA update a few days ago... .98 Hboot is what is coming in the latest OTA updates.

Looking like a new wave of XtcClip buyers again till the Devs can achieve S-Off again for the .98 Hboot.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bigdwg71:
So not knowing anything about HBOOT, besides the version, I know the Desire S is supported on HBOOT version .98.

Are these completely different or the same across all HTC phones?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
I don't know if it has been confirmed that HTC clip supports .98 hboot either. but hopefully it works!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rizzo777:
Will the HBOOT .98 ever be unlocked? I just got the INC2 and it automatically installed when I left the house for a few minutes!!!! Is it possible someone will unlock this?? I got the phone mainly so I can OC it and put on custom roms, WTF!! :((
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
there is still hope the xtc clip works..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] iceman99393:
Just return phone go to another Verizon.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tincbtrar:
Ill be getting my inc 2 tomorrow (replacement for inc 1) and it wouldn't surprise me if I'm stuck in the same dilemma. Disappointing but ill have to wait because my inc 1 isn't functioning anyway.

Looking forward to the battery life though anyway. I had to go to aosp for better battery life with dinc 1 anyway.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zax10:
Go to an authorized agent. The inventories there tend to be older.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cac2us:
DInc II arrived on Friday.

I got soo lucky when I pushed customer service to give me an early upgrade.

It cost a total of $99.99 billed in Oct.

I worked real hard at rooting it, and come Monday I see it payed off.

I'm sure that it is only a matter of time that devs will discover, test, test and distribute the magic that they are soo good at.

I tried to donate to them but PayPal or AMEX was not an option and it has been so long that I looked at a money order that I don't think it would be worth the $0.60 USD + a postage stamp to mess with it.

Does any one know of a NORMAL way to donate to AlphaRevX or Revolutionary?

I plan on trying to get another DInc II in January (if it is still around).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] electronhacker:
me too

+1 stuck with S-ON and the 0.98.0000 HBOOT from OTA... :(
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tool101:
FYI

I just sent my Dinc2 in for warranty and the replacement has Hboot .97 :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
now that XTC clips (everyone) are now unlimited, from beta to actual unlimited clips, so should try to find one.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
Im pretty sure alpharev is working on s off for our 98 hboot they where asking for just that hboot or a link to the ota.... Pretty good sign
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kartng:
Workaround for 2.3.4?

Apologies if this post outs me as a total noob, but I'm only a week into my budding love affair with the DInc2 and Android, and I've already made one stupid misstep, as my phone came with HBOOT .97, and I foolishly took the OTA, realizing about a day later that yes, I would like to root this phone.

Being impatient, I was googling around to see if there were any solutions, when I found a link to a guide to unroot the Incredible 2 (which apparently I'm not allowed to link to yet). Basically, what this guide does is reflash the phone to 2.2 via an official signed update package (which should be able to be dropped on the SD card of the phone and flashed via the power/volume down method), gain temp root and manually reflash the HBOOT with .97 (via a dd command), and then upgrades (via another package to be flashed from the SD card, not OTA) to 2.3.3. At that point, I believe I could use the current version of revolutionary to gain S-Off, root the phone via the normal method, and be set to go.

Now, my question: is this going to result in a bricked device or a lot of wasted effort? Can the phone even take a signed update from the SD card without being S-Off? And will it trip me up when I try to flash to 2.2 because it's older than what's currently on the phone? Has anyone thought to try this? Waiting for Revolutionary to update is probably the smarter course of action, but I am one to push the limits of the technology around me, so unless someone out there knows that this won't work, I'll likely give it a go.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
You will need to update to 2.3.3 leaked ruu to s-off anyways
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] times_infinity:
if your current hboot is. 98 you'll have to wait.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] loudaccord:
Nevermind lol.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kartng:
Just a quick follow up: I can confirm that times_infinity was correct. What I was trying to do above will not work: the flashing program in the bootloader detects that the Froyo RUU is older and refuses to flash. Hence back to waiting for a solution from the Revolutionary team!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] loudaccord:
Gave thanks for even trying
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] arlindemini:
Auto-up'd...

Auto-up'd from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 even after hitting NO, reboot new hboot .98...tried the old RUUs (3 different versions) with no luck... interesting thread on rootzwiki that seems to involve a hardware unlocker, not sure if it works on .98, any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] times_infinity:
xtc clip works. software exploit tto achieve s-off(alpharevx/revolutionary) are no go's right now. have to wait it out a bit longer. I'm sure they have something.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lddrew:
bump, any updates?? self upped to 2.3.4 :(
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pleasejason:
i'm in the same boat! i'm on .98 :(
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lddrew:
yerp. nobody seems to know squat. chillin with .98 too..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] k1mu:
Well, we do know that there's no public root exploit for .98. Eventually the Revolutionary team will figure something out, but it may be a while.

In the meantime, using the XTC clip will get you root. When a software root happens, it'll be posted here pretty quickly.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cac2us:
Exploit for 98

There is now, check out the dev section thanks to attn1.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lddrew:
thanks for the good news!!! maybe it'll be soon! :)

can't wait to get some Inc2HD goodness!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
You can root now....
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lddrew:
i see.. sorry i'm an idiot when it comes to this stuff so far. posted that before i opened the other thread
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
I didn't know anything about android until I started lurking in the forums. I think I learned quite a bit in the last 2 years, and I'm still learning ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] liathus:
hurray, i just gained s-off using the new method detail in the dev section. This isn't a method for novices though. The script didn't work for me, but when I went through it all manually I had success. I now have cyanogenmod on my dinc2 that came with hboot .98!!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andro-junkie:
Same here. For anyone trying on windows: don't use the script file, just run one line at a time. Working on installing ROM manager now (revolutionary-0.4pre4.zip crashes while downloading new version of ROM manager)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pjt817:
Confused, please don't flame

So, with the tool to downgrade the hboot, i try to run one line at a time, but it fails after the first one, and adb is working, but not to sure about fastboot... what do i do?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
Can you be more specific. How far did you get? What line in the code box did you get stuck on?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pjt817:
On the first line of code, it just gives me an error, such as "no file located"

someone said either right click the hack-vivow file and run as admin, but that doesnt work, or do every code one by one, i wish there was a detailed guide
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lddrew:
hope this helps, all credit to alex

Hey hey, i had issues as well. and alex, aka loudaccord, was kind enough to send me this and help me out. I followed his directions to the t and it worked first time. much props to alex for helping me and everyone out

-Lee
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pjt817:
i'm so lost, i get this after the first line of code
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lddrew:
no problem man, like i said all thanks go to alex. his workaround worked flawlessly for me as well. hope this clears some things up for the "newbies"
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pjt817:
nevermind, i rwealized you dont do the *
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lddrew:
you get it straightened out?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Droid0351:
Reverting Back

Can we use this tool also to revert back to stock 2.3.3 and take the update to 2.3.4 just incase we have to return the phone back to verizon.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
Yes indeed my friend.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kmarine0120:
Worked Flawlessly

I moved all the files to a similar directory for simplicity of finding stuff. But it worked well and now I just have to figured out how to get root.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
go here to flash the appropriate file via cwm.

I THINK THAT THE CAUSE MUST BE SOME HARDWARE-RELATED THING - the screen is flickering all the time - despite changing settings in brightness, etc.:cyclops:
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] KnekKeR:
I didn't make this, I just found it and put it in a flashable zip.

It was in the meXdroid Pre-Ghost Chili ROM, but for some reason not in the latest AIO version. I think it was also in the CM7 nightlies, but I'm not entirely sure.

Anyway, it just makes the webkit browsers(pretty much all browsers except Opera and Firefox) a little smoother, especially when pinch-zooming in.

I tested this working on CM7 nightly 204 and meXdroid Ghost Chili AIO.

It didn't work on MIUI and Sense ROMS. MIUI hanged at boot and Sense crashed the browser. You can try it if you want though.

Download:

http://www.multiupload.com/P4UCPVX4IY

The .zip flashes 2 files:

system/lib/libwebcore.so

system/lib/libwebkitaccel.so
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Tommebaas:
Do you have some benchmarks or something?

Because I don't know if I will flash it if it is a "little smoother"
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] KnekKeR:
Here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DZnie3u0YI
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] shellin:
Dang! That's smoother than Opera! Wish it was working for MIUI though :/
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] KnekKeR:
It's not smoother than Opera, but it's definitely an improvement.

Zooming out is still a little laggy like normal, and scrolling on large pages(like xda forums expanded view) is still laggy.

I wonder why they removed this from the CM7 nightlys though.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] shellin:
When I first judged the performance, I was basing my observations on the YT video. Now, I'm running CM7 and using the stock browser.

- the stock browser seemed smoother than Dolphin HD, but yes, not as smooth as Opera. Rendering wasn't perfect on Opera 100% of the time though (the google mobile page comes to mind).

- it was definitely smoother than normal, mostly after the page finished loading. When the page was still loading, scrolling was still fairly choppy. But still definitely recommended for those not on Opera.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ChronoReverse:
Definitely some difference on CM7. Stability is noticeably lower though.

Still not at Opera's level =/

Vellamo shows that it's now running close to 60fps instead of 30fps

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] LikeaG2root:
I use stock browser on meXdroidmod ghost chili AIO. It is buttery smooth. Way better than the video posted above. I really can't imagine it being better cause its that smooth.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] KnekKeR:
I actually used meXdroidmod AIO in the video. After I flashed gapps(non modded) it broke the theme.

Also, because all browsers on Android use the same webkit engine, I doubt one is smoother than the other. Because of this, this should work on all those browsers(incl. Dolphin HD).

With the exception of Opera Mobile and Firefox though. Those 2 use their own rendering engine.

shade@toxygene #1
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sino8r:
Works great! They removed it from CM due to stability issues but honestly I rather deal with the occasional crash than slow browsing. For shame on all of you who didn't thank the guy for posting this! Wtf is wrong with you people?! Don't worry! I gave you 5 points to make up for it. Also, it only works on 2.3.4 and above...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] KnekKeR:
Thanks :)

I haven't noticed any stability issues myself though, but I also rather have a occasional crash than the normal choppy browsing. I always had to use Opera, since the stock browsers were so horribly slow.

Let's hope IceCreamSandwich will be better. The ICS browser will supposedly have full hardware acceleration in the browser.

Also, I just tested this on my sisters' Nexus S, and it worked. Perhaps it works on more devices?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sino8r:
Yeah, it should work for any phone with 2.3.4 and above. The latest CM Nightlies build 220 has a performance option to smooth scrolling in general. Combine with this and its pretty darn smooth. Opera is a great alternative but its rendering can be screwy sometimes. Plus, it always opens pages in overview which drives me nuts, lol! But ICS, we are ALL looking forward to. I was unaware that the browser would have full hardware acceleration. That's awesome! Our devices have a decent GPU and great CPU so we should be set!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] theSpam:
Thanks for the mod, it works well on the CM7 nightly build that I'm running :)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] xzr3b0rnzx:
Is this only for the g2?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] KnekKeR:
No, it also works on a Nexus S and probably more devices. But I'm not sure if the .zip will work on your device.

If it doesn't, you can just extract the zip and use adb to push "libwebkitaccel.so" and "libwebcore.so" to system/lib/.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] xzr3b0rnzx:
Yep it works, snappy. Thanks dude
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Tommebaas:
Where is that smooth scrolling option?

I can't find it.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] theSpam:
I believe it's the 16 bit transparency option under CyanogenMod Settings - Performance
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Tommebaas:
It causes some visual artifacts, so it's turned off.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] theSpam:
The artifacts aren't that bad -- I only notice occasional banding while scrolling.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sino8r:
Yup... I've been using it since it arrived on nightlies and that's the only ill effect. Of course, I turned it off and haven't noticed much of a difference in speed loss either. Same with the browser. It does crash a lot with acceleration on. Hopefully, ICS is better. They are supposed to use hardware acceleration on everything including a lot of apps that you would never think of. I hope they work out the bugs though. Opera is by far the fastest browser but its rendering is kinda screwy sometimes. Nothings perfect, I guess...
