Hi all,

I would like to ask, which file(s) in /res/anim in framework-res.apk is responsible for the unlock transition animation, i.e. from the lockscreen to the homescreen?

Thanks a million! =)

Nice guide. I have to use the tacoroot method for a buddy of mine.

Bad links for Tacoroot.sh and .0312 radio. Great wright up though and cant wait to get my replacement unlocked.

Edit: Ok so I am almost there but have run into some issues. I cant get the 2.3.3 RUU to flash. It will get so far and stop saying bad signature verification. The one thing I noticed is that at the end of the file name it has si and not signed. I tried to change it but kinda knew that would not work and it didn't. Hope this can be fixed soon.

Edit of the edit. Ok so I followed dets34's wright up as I could not get the commands posted here to work. I put the files in the proper SDK folders and went through the commands and when I got to the RUU I hit tab after starting the name to make sure the end was si.zip. Flashed went into boot loop, boot recovery, flash newest radio, and bam no more loop with S off. Thanks to everyone who keeps us sorted out and flashing strong.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Links work fine for me. What did you do differently with dets34's tutorial?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zackspeed:
The only thing that was different was I put misc and taco files in AndroidSDK\platforms. Then I put the RUU in the tools folder. Ran the commands and it went through first try. For the first part I cd c:\ to my platforms folder and ran the first part then cd c:\ to my tools folder and installed the RUU. Once it booted as soon as I messed with it boot loop. So flashed the radio and all seems to be fine.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Shouldn't make a difference if you added those folders to your PATH variable, that way you can use adb/fastboot commands without having to cd in.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zackspeed:
Yea that's kinda what I thought but some how I messed it up or something because it never would flash the RUU. I am no expert at this by any means. Either way you helped out and its nice to see we don't have to worry about loops any more. :good:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] techspecs:
Great guide, thanks! My couple of things I had to add in to make everything work:

fastboot flash zip RUU_Vivo_W_Gingerbread_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.18.605.3_Radio_1.09.01.0622_NV_VZW1.92_release_199487_si.zip

I had to add the path to this file for it to work and then afterward do a

adb reboot

to get ready for the Revolutionary process. At first Revolutionary wouldn't recognize the device when it booted. I quickly realized I needed to re-enable USB Debug.

Then I used adb to do the rebooting necessary to flash the .0312 radio.

Thanks again! Great stuff.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Updated, thanks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] leshan:
Thanks for your guide. Will this guide work with the newest firmware 5.10.605.9? Just use TACOROOT?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Use the downgrade tool.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bberryhill0:
The latest firmware is 6.01.605.05. You don't have to use tacoroot.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] leshan:
Thanks. worked perfectly.

unroot to re-root correctly

Does anyone know a method to go back to stock on one of refurbed phones in order to re root correctly and not get the Sense bootloop? I found a few methods but they are all four hboot .97 and I have a feeling won't fix the problem.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Flash the latest firmware, or just flash whatever RUU then the .0312 radio, then follow the guide to go back to s-on.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] warpurlgis:
I'm trying to do the Tacoroot method with the latest update and its works up until I try to show devices in fastboot at the "fastboot devices" command. I'm on Windows 8 Pro. Would there be any driver issues that would cause it to not work?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Did the drivers install correctly?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] warpurlgis:
They seem to have until I get to the fastboot part. That's why I'm asking if they are fully compatible with Windows 8 or not.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
I'm really not sure, you may be better off using the HTC Sync drivers and then uninstalling HTC Sync. Those drivers are fairly old, so I don't know.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
What version are you on? Custom ROM? What does "fastboot getvar mainver" give you?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nate7784:
Thanks for responding to my post. I am running Android 2.3.4, htc sense 2.1 and 6.01.605.05 710RD under the software number label in software info section. No, I am not running a custom ROM, I saw the point in your instructions where if that were the case I would need to download another ROM first or something to that effect. All I am running is what comes with the phone, I can't even get OTA updates from verizon on this phone as I'm using page plus and I guess they dont feel the need to support phones not directly running through them.

Here's what the "fastbook getvar mainver" command brings up.

C:\Android>adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 2.18.605.3

--set_version set. VERSION will be changed to: 2.18.605.3

So, for some reason it is not letting me downgrade. Any idea on either what I am doing wrong, or what circumstance not accounted for in the instructions may be causing the input file error?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Did you flash the zip to get root? Make sure you're running the script as root too, run "adb shell" and check to see if the prompt is a $ or a #, if it's a $, run "su" then run the misc_version command (without adb shell in front)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nate7784:
I"m not sure which zip you are talking about, but I follow your instructions to the letter up to where the input file error thing pops up, and the two radio zip commands work fine and match up like they should, and I flash the CWM fine. I ran the "adb shell" command after fastboot devices, not sure if that was a good place to run it or not, but the prompt is indeed a $, not a #. So I should run SU then "adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp/misc_version

adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version

adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 2.18.605.3

adb reboot bootloader" but without "adb shell" in front both of "adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version

adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 2.18.605.3"?

Sorry I'm not trying to be difficult, trying to learn as fast as I can and making sure I am doing everything exactly as it should be done.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Push it first, you can write to /data/local/tmp without root. Then, run this:

adb shell
su
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 2.18.605.3
exit
exit

Then, run adb reboot bootloader and continue.

Sorry for the late replies, this thread doesn't get much action lately so I normally only check it once a day.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Use the PG32IMG.zip method to flash the radio (search the thread, pretty sure I've covered it multiple times) and you should be good to go.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nate7784:
Ok, I'm stuck in a bootloop. I deleted all the zip stuff off the sd card, have tried rebooting with the sd card in, with it out, even went into bootloader and did a factory reset and that stopped the bootloop till i reactivated the phone now its stuck in bootloop again. I'm in way over my head now. How do I get this damn thing to stop looping?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
You need to flash the radio to stop the bootloops. Have you done that yet?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nate7784:
I tried but I guess I don't know how to do that. Can you please lay it out for me step by step? I obviously don't know what I"m doing yet and need things to be like a recipe book so I don't screw up or get confused by terminology.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Rename the radio to PG32IMG.zip (make sure you don't have hide extensions set if using windows,or else you might name it PG32IMG.zip.zip

Put it in the root of your sdcard (just means not in any folders)

Boot into the bootloader. Give it a few seconds, if it doesn't find it and prompt you to flash it's either in the wrong place or not named correctly.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nate7784:
Ok, I did that and I didnt end it in .zip this time and it still showed it as a zip file so im guessing your guess was right about that. It found the file in bootloader and seemed to install it as it had a green status bar on the right side that loaded. But after that I hit reboot and its still in the loop.

UPDATE: Tried it a 3rd time, it apparently worked. Dunno what I did different from the second, but its up and running without loops and getting 3g from verizon so I think I'm good! Thank you so much for the prompt responses and putting up with me having a small panic attack, I'll be sure to tip you. So I should be good to go into the revolution tool now correct?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Yeah, you should he good to go now.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] leerage:
Dang... I'm getting the same: FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)

I've renamed the radio zip to PG32IMG.zip and put it on the root of the SD card. Boot into bootloader and I see it loading on the side, but then it just goes back to the main screen of the bootloader. Its like it doesn't pass the check or something. I've verified its md5 and its good.

Not sure what else to try.

Edit --- Well I got around that error. Since I couldnt flash the radio, I went ahead and renamed the full RUU to PG32IMG.zip and was able to flash that. Once it boots up for the first time, it will not boot loop (at least it didn't for me). I think after a reboot and when it boots back up... it will go into a boot loop. Since I was not in a boot loop I went ahead and did revolutionary and got s-off.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jasonp0:
Don't forget to rename that file or take it off of your SD card.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] moparfreak426:
this is cool and all, but where is the revolution guide for s-off stock.... i do not deal with HTC but trying to help a friend... Samsungs are way easier.....
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Huh? Read the guide, that's exactly what it's for...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cowboyv:
Yeah, I'm getting the same error. I have unlocked the bootloader, but still have S-On, hboot 0.97.0000 and radio 1.09.01.0622.

tried flashing 1.09.01.0312_vivow_Radio_PG32IMG as PG32IMG.zip and it won't load. I tried reflashing the RUU as PG32IMG.zip and then flashing the radio again and the phone gets stuck in a loop; it will load into sense, stay there for a couple of seconds and then reboot.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: the phone stopped looping, but the revolutionary tool stays "waiting for device". Is there something I'm forgetting?

EDIT #2: Apparently, the phone will bootloop if I have the SD inserted, which is strange because I have formated the card and all I have in the root is both the RUU and the radio files.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Disable fast boot in settings?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cowboyv:
USB Debugging is on, Fast boot is off. Still no Andrew
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Grouper:
Having the same problem. It will flash the big RUU fine but when flashing the small one it says it failed signature verification. I tried renaming and placing it on the sdcard but when I boot into the bootloader it will load and check the file, then just drops me right back to the bootloader menu without flashing the file or asking me if I want to flash the file, like it normally would...

What to do now?

EDIT: It booted up the first time fine. I didn't dare restart it for fear of a bootloop and did revolutionary S-Off and it worked fine. After rebooting it was bootlooping like crazy but I have S-Off and CWMR so all's good.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] persom55:
for anyone doing the tacoroot method having trouble flashing the radio at the end, just skip it, then flash it after you've got s-off. it took me about 10 minutes to figure this out, so i figured i should post this in case more newbz get stuck
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Keep meaning to add this, but I'm always on my phone and forget later. Thanks for the reminder.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JoeNeckbone:
Thank you so much for this guide. Just rooted the dinc2 of my girlfriend, used tacoroot to downgrade and than used revolutionary. I got real nervous towards the end when you flash the radio because I got the signature error, but when I realized it was the just a updated radio, I just restarted (maybe make this step optional?) and was fine..... I have rooted many phones but this is my first time that I needed to downgrade to root. I should have known that flashing the RUU would delete all data and put it back to factory (I have RUU'D before but thru windows and it gives the warning all data will be erased) maybe make this more clear in OP. Thanks again for all the work in putting this together!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] loveVII:
EDIT: Ignore the following message... I figured out my problem: hadn't correctly installed HTC Drivers... Derp... Problem solved.

Just got this phone. Unlocked via HTCDevUnlock. Trying to downgrade but getting stuck at:

Any ideas on what this means? The md5 sum on the misc_version file checked out fine. This isn't my first S-OFF (I've done EVO 3D, Evo 4g, and Rezound) but it is definitely the most complicated... Having a hard time finding anything geared toward my software version..

Phone is:

HTC Droid Incredible 2

Hboot 0.98

Android 2.3.4

Software: 6.04.605.07 710RD

Ext4 Recovery

Rooted

Also tried "[Tool] Downgrade VivoW with hboot 0.98" but it had errors as well:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JoeNeckbone:
Have you tried a different computer/cable? tried redownloading the files over? Are you using a USB 2.0 port and not 3.0 which is known to cause problems?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] je2854:
I tried this way for 7 times -.-

The only way I got this to work for me on .98 was to use

miscversion -s 1.00.000.0

tacoroot.sh --unroot

adb reboot bootloader

any other way it wouldn't work but after I changed the mainver it did flashed with no errors.

Just thought I would give my results and as usual YMMV
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] loveVII:
I have two of these phones. Got one S-OFF, but the other is stuck at this same place. Can't get mainver to change, so I can't downgrade the RUU. I've tried:

- Reinstalling HTC drivers

- Different cables

- Different computer

Nothing seems to help. I can push misc_version into tmp folder but can't change the version... I'm at my wits end. I've S-OFF'd 3 other HTC phones and none of them were this complicated... Although I will admit I'm learning quite a bit about using ADB...

EDIT:

Got it figured out.

I had to alter the code a little bit to get su permissions:

Before I was using "adb shell chmod 777..." and "adb shell /data/...." and I suppose SU wasn't kicking in for whatever reason. Oh well. I got it now. Hope this helps someone else trying to unlock with HTC Dev.

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

Corrections to HTC Dev S-OFF method... After you have SU installed, with phone booted into regular OS, use CMD to type:

adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp/misc_version

adb shell this should produce a $

su this should change the $ to a #

chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version

/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 2.18.605.3 Hopefully you shouldn't get an error here!

exit back to a $

exit back to C:\WhateverFolderYoureIn

adb reboot bootloader This will reboot you to the white menu again.

fastboot devices Result should be your phone's serial number.

fastboot getvar mainver Result should be 2.18.605.3. If it isn't, make sure you didn't get any errors in the above code and everything was copied correctly.

Remainder of the instructions are the same... Again, this worked for me whereas the normal instructions only gave me errors no matter what I tried. Just wanted to share my results.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wntrequinx:
Why does the radio hate me?

Ok, so before i saw the post about "you don't have to worry if the radio doesn't flash", i tried a couple of the suggestions to get the radio flashed correctly.

Unfortunately, by then, i had rebooted a few times, and triggered a bootloop probably caused by the hatred of the 1.09.01.0622 radio by the older ROM bits i'd updated.

At one point in my attempts to get the adb/etc to see the phone, it ended up rebooting into a 'updating from Verizon Wireless' screen... i pulled the battery (probably not my best idea ever), which may have contributed to said bootloop.

In order to end the bootloop (adb / fastboot/etc couldn't see it because it needed the USB debugging turned back on - or was just being a jerk to me), i did a factory reset.

Luckily, at this point in the process, a factory reset did not actually reset the phone totally and undo the previous successes in the early tacoroot.sh process. It did, however, trigger another 'updating from Verizon Wireless' - which I let finish on it's own, this time.

Unfortunately, I had Revolutionary running and 'waiting for device' -- so once I turned USB debugging back on, Revolutionary immediately started trying to Zerg it. That didn't end well, given that i hadn't yet turned fastboot off.

After a second factory reset to get rid of the newer bootloop (and after closing Revolutionary), I turned on USB Debugging and turned off Fastboot -- then Revolutionary did it's thing, i had S-OFF and the bootloop fairy hadn't returned to grant me another 20 minutes of 'fun'...

I tried updating the radio a few more times (redownloaded it and tried the PG32IMG trick, to no avail).

Finally, i found an older posting of a link to the radio needed (Radio version 1.09.01.0312 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27463473), and that download was apparently not hated by my computer, and worked on the first try (i renamed it to PG32IMG.zip and put it in my sdcard - and this time it finally asked me if i wanted to update my radio...).

i tried going into the stock recovery and now it's been sitting on the 'updating from Verizon..." screen for 10 minutes....

I have to say, this is the second Dinc2 trying the tacoroot.sh, where the radio hated me. (last time using the same zip from a different laptop fixed it - however this time i did the whole process from the previously successful laptop). I wonder if there isn't an issue with the hosted having a tendency to get corrupted on download by some machines...

Anyway, I am hoping this helps anyone who is stuck in a bootloop and is contemplating the factory reset, or who needs a link to a working copy of the radio.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ArslanQureshi:
one should always check md5 sums before flashing radios as they can indicate a corrupted download
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wntrequinx:
Yeah, the md5sums was fine for the radio, the radio just failed the checks when it was flashed to the sdcard with fastboot.

There are several other posts on this forum that also indicate people got to the radio install and it wouldn't work, despite everything else working correctly.

Its some weird thing where it doesn't work for no good reason.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PS4AndroidHacker:
What if we have only HTCDev Unlocked and rooted but not flashed a ROM, does it still work the same way? Just wondering, thanks for the wonderful guide!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ArslanQureshi:
yes you need to downgrade to .97 hboot to get s-off by revolutionary you should be ok if you follow all the steps there is some error in commands just use the corrections posted above if you have any other questions feel free to ask
