I personally can't wait to get Viper back and be rid of this vz bloatware. I love the phone but this software is killing me. Many thanks to both of you guys, I hope it works out!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
im fine with giving my phone up to brick tbh

cuz working on the phone with 90% of the userbase unable to use what i do, is not as worth it as otherwise :silly:

plus i can get a cheap rezound or inc 4g off ebay im sure

If you have a tester phone willing to test S-OFF, I need to ask a personal question. Please PM me, thanks, Andy.

Pm'ed you back Andy
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] lwinstead:
I will also be a remote tester, if it's needed or desired. While I'm awfully itchy about totally bricking my phone, I would rather help the community than sit back and complain about this utterly neglected phone.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
thanks man very much appreciated, if a tester is needed, I'll certainly give you a PM.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
I have an itchy feeling that pretty soon we're all gunna be happy, happy, happy. ;)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Linch89:
s-off??

what? you mean this??? ;)

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE thank you to Unlimited!!! they are the best and like andy's been saying, good things come to those who wait

thanks to andy too with hs secret squirrel sneaking ablitlity keeping it on the hush lol
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
did unlimited.io process for s-off make u superCID or is that from the root process?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Linch89:
that was from the root process i never changed back the cid bc nothing went wrong for me.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] slacka-vt:
That's a beautiful sight! :highfive:

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
ok that's what I thought, but wasn't sure, thanks.

can you do a test for me real fast please?

turn off phone (make sure fastboot is turned off in settings), and see if you can get into bootloader holding power and volume down, or if it restarts the phone.

When I tested, I had the 1.15.1111 hboot and it would just reboot the phone so they flashed me back to the 1.12.1111 one I have now, just curious to see if that was fixed.

Thanks man.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Linch89:
sure thing trying now

With many thanks to regaw_leinad for making his awesome RegawMOD Bootloader Customizer and Junkmail9, for being awesome and hooking me up with the plug-in needed to use the RegawMOD.

I can't believe that more people aren't going crazy that S-OFF is officially coming!!

HTC dev unlock is NOT needed!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] binaryhat:
I'm super excited!:laugh:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Skidoo03:
Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! Yes!!!!!!!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dbrits:
Heh. I'm super excited. Has it been mentioned how awesome this community and its devs are? Because you guys are beyond awesome.

And just wait until s-off gets official and gets its own thread. It will. Blow. Up.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MJL99:
Lol last time they went crazy things blew up in their face. Guess they are more mellow this time.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jamminjon82:
Whoa didn't know the HTC dev wasn't needed!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
Unfortunately, that was due to a misunderstanding over the EVO 4G DirtyRacun release.

I think most are cautiously optimistic this time. Like dbrits said, once a new s-off post from unlimited hits huge excitement will follow.

Not needing HTC Dev unlock is fantastic!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] bberryhill0:
I threw caution to the wind. I'm just optimistic.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
Lol. I've been optimistic the entire time :)

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
I'm in this boat.

On a side note, my backordered Nexus 4 order gave me too much time to reconsider changing carriers. I decided against going pre-paid due to lack of roaming and am not interested in signing a new two-year contract. Plus, I am in a minority of people who still actually have Unlimited data through Verizon... so long story short, I cancelled my Nexus 4 order and will be sticking around here for a while longer with my Inc4G.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
I'm ecstatic. I can't wait for it.

However, since one of the members of the Unlimited team didn't post here officially announcing it (even though Fuses did before LadyX came along and retracted it), I wouldn't call it official. As for people not being more excited, we got excited last time and it pushed a lot of people away when she came here and destroyed our hopes and dreams.

I really hope this time is different.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
they allowed Linch to post the screen shot. It's official lol.

LadyX didn't crush any dreams man, she's just looking out for the best of the Team.

It's only two people Fuses and Hyuh.. that's a lot of work to do, espcially when there's so many Evo4g users.

Our time is coming..

I'll say it til the day I die,

patience is a virtue.

You got to be patient to die! lol

You want people to send it as gifts. That's how the fees won't be charged. Great idea for what you guys are doing!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
Very much appreciated.

I don't want anyone getting their hopes up, there's never any guarantees.

well I can guarantee your money back if we don't raise enough, but nothing about any S-OFF
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
we are so close guys!

once we get there if there is any extra money (which I doubt), but If there is and all goes well I'm going to donate it to the lazypandateam :)

faster we get, faster we can get phone ;)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] cambunch:
Andy, if you click the donate button under your name it sends you to a PayPal link that's already set to send a donation to you. Is that charging you fees? That's how I sent mine if you want to check and see if there are any charges attached to my donation. Pretty crappy of PayPal to do that if they are.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
I will update the thread once we reach out goal with every ones name who has paid. right now I have $180 in the paypal, I*thhink* sorry bent on time atm, once the one who said they pay we have it reached, so once it's in my paypal i send to man with phone and he sends to me, and the work begins :)

anyway, also if any extra money itll go towards shipping faster, and maybe insured?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
yea I think it IS charging me fees that way, others can u click send money, then send as gift as mentioned above (thank you), and my paypal = acd2788@gmail.com

we are so damnn close !!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
PayPal balance: $211.47 USD

amazing guys!!!!

if everyone else who committed, comes thru we should have $286 if sent as girft :)

this is great for us guys!

we really pulled through here!!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] HypostaticOnion:
This is amazing. If I had the money to spare I'd donate as well, but I really have no money to spare right now. I don't even have the phone, but this is great. I feel honored to be a part of such an amazing development community. Can't wait to snag this phone and mess around with this stuff.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
If I missed anyone who donated and you are NOT in the OP, I'm very sorry, most haven't put the XDA names and I'm not used to getting donations at all so to get like 10 + keep track of who is who and who paid what and who has paid who hasn't is getting confusing, so please no hard feelings :)

just please PM me as that's the best chance of me seeing the message so I can add you where you deserve to be!

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
ok guys great news!

I have $290 in my paypal, I am sending the $280 right now to bejahnel.

we will both get confirmations e-mails, I'll keep everything saved just for reference.

bejahnel will then ship it out, hopefully tmw, and provide me with a usps tracking # which I will post up on here.

can't wait !
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
I'd make sure he's ok with posting the tracking number. It's gonna list his address and yours. :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] blazingwolf:
Well, I still send mine on Friday. Just use it for the S-Off folks. :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
was the first question I asked.

it's just the town, and I've never done anyone wrong so I'm not worried :)

I have $30 extra in my paypal which will be saved for donation to the unlimited.io team, if you can still donate please do they certainly deserve every dollar they get and are doing us a huge favor so I'd like to at least give something back.

you guys are amazing!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
very much appreciated, Sir.

now will have $40 for them saved, hopefully I can get a bit higher

every bit counts!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
I'm a huge believer in karma, and this was just amazing on how we all pulled together, even bejahnel who is sad to see the phone go away, gave us an incredible deal of $280 for the phone (which we reached in what 4 /12 -5 hours!!!). Once I receive the phone, it's game time...

can't wait to get this going for us, we did such an amazing job!

and if you feel left out by not donations, even just $1, seriously goes a long way, so if you have $5 anything, please donate it, it will go to people who truly deserve it!

thanks you

-Andrew

I will show you the transactions of me donating to them in the future, whether its still the $40 we have now + whatever I save to whatever is donated, they deserve it!!!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
I think I got everyone who donated in the OP, if you are not there Please let me know and I am very sorry!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dbrits:
Sheesh... I don't check the forums for a few hours and I miss all the action. Anyway, count me in for $5. I'll get it to you in a few days.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
you are guy's are the best, we should hopefully have the tracking # for the phone tmw, and see when it's going to arrive, then hopefully S-OFF will come! (knock on wood)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] devinhfox:
You need anymore? I would like to donate some let me know what you

Update: $50 bill for y'all
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
yes please donate I will add you to OP, we got enough for phone, but I am going to donate the rest to the very deserving team that brings us S-OFF as they don't accept per-release donations, i=I'll donate it as a inc4g community donations :)

every bit counts man whatever you can donate, the list is in the OP of who has done what

if/when you do donate rather than clicking my sig to donate, please sign into paypal, and click send money and put inmy email address acd2788@gmail.com and select gift, otherwise paypal takes a % of the money, and that's a huge bummer ! :)

EDIT: thank you very much! added to OP!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
you guys are amazing!

could Arnold and Billy who donated today send me your XDA names so I can put you in OP. don't want to use you guys real names.

edit Arnold = ragnarokxg

awesome, thanks bro!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
OP updated, got the tracking #, we decided for both our safety I won't publicly post the tracking # but I'll update at the usps site updates, + it should be here Friday, so thats very soon, then we get crackin.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Makaveli1490:
Wow I didnt even get a chance to help
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
there's still a huge way to help, every bit counts!

as the S-OFF team does NOT accept pre-release donations, whatever I get that is donated to me (please make not it is for s-off) now that we got the phone paid for, will be donated to the S-OFF team as they highly deserve it.

They put in so much work for us and the entire Android community, and won't even take donations before hand.

these guys are a class act and are very smart.

I think it will really show our true colors saving up a donation fund for them.

so please if you have any extra cash and want to help out, you will be helping out just as much as everyone else!

I hope to ultimately reach $100 as a donation as that is a very fair donation for providing our community with S-OFF.

please consider it.

the same to anyone else.

anyone who donates whether it was earlier or now, is JUST as BIG a help to achieving our goal!

awesome job guys, this community is really coming together!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] moelost:
I just sent a $20 donation. I'm Moe Darbandi, OP of the "How the hell can I root..." Thread in Q&A. I've tried reading up on s-off but im still not entirely sure if that's what I'm looking for. I certainly don't want to miss out on any HTC over the air updates. I've been basically pulling my hair out the last several weeks trying to find a way to root my incredible just ONE TIME, not even perm, online.

You guys are my only hope. I hope I donated to the right person. once figured out will I be able to get a one or two time root access on my phone?

All I want is to remap the stupid recent apps button to the menu button and get rid of the 3 dots within apps. That and launch YouTube links in the native player ( read I had to del some HTC sys files to do that)

Good luck guys. There's more donations to come if I can just root my phone ONCE.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] polarimetric:
Although it would be theoretically possible for you to do that (gain temporary root access and apply those mods), accepting any over-the-air update after you applied those mods would undo all of them. If the time comes when we can use HTCDev again, you will still be able to unlock your bootloader after the OTA, re-root and re-apply the mods (given that they still work), but if you're relying on S-OFF (if HTCDev continues to block this phone), accepting an OTA update would break any S-OFF exploit built for this phone, meaning that you would be unable to regain root access.

Once we get S-OFF (and I'm sure we will), I would recommend permanently rooting your phone. Whenever a new OTA update comes out for a phone, all of the stock-based ROMs developed for that phone are quickly re-based off of the new OTA, meaning that installing those ROMs would be essentially equivalent to installing the OTA. You would need to flash the radio separately, but flashing a radio with S-OFF is generally pretty painless. After flashing the radio and updating the ROM, you will have all of the benefits of the new OTA plus the ability to keep root.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
thanks for the donation adding to OP!

I don't think we have temp-root for this phone yet, ive tried
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] moelost:
But wouldn't that also break/nullify any mods (such as 3-button remap) that was previously installed as well?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] cambunch:
You would just install them again after doing the manual update. Plus, most of those mods would already be incorporated into the custom update.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
the mod would need to be re-done depending on whether the files neded were edtied in the OTA.. same goes for everything in the ROM.

The DEV just needs to re-make it based on the new files as he did for the initial MOD.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
Wow. Miss a day and miss a lot! I'm assuming donations are still open? I'd like to chip in $20 for the cause.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
the donations are always open and to a good cause, the remainder is going to the S-OFF team for a donation to them as they really deserve it. So your donation is just as important as the first persons :)

just try and leave a note and ur xda user name so I can add you to OP when using PayPal
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] CaptainRewind:
S-OFF is THE way to get everything you (and all of us) want. From radio updates and custom recoveries, to something small like button remaps, this is how to get it done.

It sounds like andybones has an in with the effing geniuses able to figure it out. I donated, and feel what little I could chip in was money well spent.

You did the right thing.

Is there any reason why Voodoo OTA Root Keeper wouldn't work on this phone?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] slacka-vt:
I'm already rooted but I'm down for the cause. Better late than never -$20 bucks sent. Thanks for taking care of this, Andy. :highfive:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
much appreciated bro!!

adding to OP!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] polarimetric:
Is OTA Root Keeper effective in situations where the OTA (intentionally) locks down the bootloader? I had the understanding that it was not, but I could be wrong.

I don't see any reason it wouldn't work, it's just a question of whether or not it depends on an unlocked bootloader.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
please make sure to let me know if you donated and are not in the OP!

I'm trying my best to match names with XDA user names but it's getting difficult.

As of now I hope it's up-to-date.

Can't wait to (hopefully) tracking says arrival tmw -- get the phone and start hacking this bad-boy.

this is a really great community! :good:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] cambunch:
Voodoo OTA should work in theory, but since we don't gave any OTAs and most people don't have root, no one can say yet. A locked bootloader won't effect it either way.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
it's all good they dudes are so smart they will figure something out.
