[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Get S-OFF after using HTCDev Unlock

(HSO)​

If you used HTCDev unlock and want to get S-OFF, follow this guide. What you get from going from HTCDev unlocked to full S-OFF is a full unlock instead of HTC's restricted unlock. This way, you can flash custom radios and flash ROMs without needing to extract and separately flash the boot.img. (Note: If you already installed a custom recovery and a custom ROM, flash this ROM and start at "adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp/misc_version" in the code.) To do this, first download this zip and extract it to C:/Android. You can extract it somewhere else, just replace C:/Android with the path to where you extracted it wherever it comes up. Next, download this zip and extract it to C:/Android. Download this zip as well and put it in your C:/Android folder, but do not extract it. Now, connect your device to your computer with a USB cable, turn on USB Debugging under Settings>Apps>Development, and disable fastboot under Settings>Power. Make sure your phone is fully charged. Open a command prompt by opening the start menu, typing "cmd" and hitting enter. Type in everything that is in black text. Notes and extra instructions will be written in blue. It is recommended that you copy/paste the code to avoid typos, to do this, copy by highlighting the line and hitting Ctrl+C as usual; to paste, go to your command prompt and click the small black icon in the upper left corner. A menu will pop up, go to Edit>Paste. Make sure you have not highlighted any spaces before or after the line or any of the blue text. Now, begin copying the code:

cd C:/Android

md5sums RUU_Vivo_W_Gingerbread_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.18.605.3_Ra dio_1.09.01.0622_NV_VZW1.92_release_199487_si.zip Result should be cea499f51b40055ffd118960e1e73255, if it isn't, redownload the miniadb zip.

md5sums 1.09.01.0312_vivow_Radio_PG32IMG.zip Result should be ea6b98be48210d7797e62362f49ff751

md5sums misc_version Result should be 050f55d34ddbcc860efa5982491437de

adb devicesResult should be your phone's serial number.

adb push CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip /sdcard This might take a minute or so. If it gives an error, try "adb push CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip /mnt/sdcard"

adb reboot bootloader This should reboot your phone to a white menu, once it is there, continue.

fastboot devices This should return your phone's serial number.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img This might take a while, be patient and do not interrupt it. Once it is done, use the volume buttons on your phone to navigate through the menu until RECOVERY is highlighted, then press Power to select it. Your phone will reboot into another menu, once it shows up, select "install from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard," then scroll down and select CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip, and accept it. Once it is finished, press power then select reboot. Once you are fully booted, continue with the instructions.

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 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.

That's the end of the code, you should be downgraded and can now get S-OFF by following the Revolutionary guide in the first post.

After S-OFF

(ASO)​

So, now you have S-OFF. Congratulations! The next step would be to flash a custom recovery, then either an su zip or a custom, rooted ROM. For recoveries, the choices are ClockworkMod, 4EXT or TWRP. I personally prefer 4EXT, but TWRP is also great and has many great features. ClockworkMod is a little slower, but still stable. All ROMs and recoveries for the Dinc2 can be found in the development forums (where you found this guide), and there are many different ROMs to choose from, so check them out! If you want something rock solid and completely stable, try out CondemnedSoul's CM7 or one of the Gingerbread Sense ROMs, or if you want something newer, a bit faster, but maybe has a few minor bugs, check out one of the many ICS ROMs. If you want the latest and greatest, with a few slight bugs, go Jelly Bean with aeroevan's CM10. If you were looking to just root, download and flash the zip found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053, however, I would recommend that you try one of the Gingerbread Sense ROMs such as Skyraider Zeus if you wanted something a bit different with extra features, or andybonestock for a faster, debloated ROM that looks and feels exactly like what you're used to, but rooted.
