[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmpgoud:
I am on Remics-JB v2.0, it was fine for one week. All of sudden reboots are happening almost 1-2 times in a day.

Any solution for this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsin5393:
Hi, guys.

If I wish to use odin flash back to 2.3 gb rom then re-flash cm10 again, which 2.3 gb version do you recommend?

My sgs still have the randomly then get reset system & lost home button function, so I wish to try reflash to see whether can remove this problem...

And then, can I flash latest cm10 directly after I flash cm7 on 2.3 gingerbread?

Thank you.

Hello XDA, just popping in to say hello. Sorry if there's an introduction thread and I didn't see it, but I just thought I'd formally say hello.

Just got my One S on Friday of last week, and I am madly in love with it so far. This is my 4th HTC device in a row on T-Mobile (Shadow, G1, G2, and now the One S).

I've been coming here lurking for a few years now for info on my various phones, and decided to actually register today. Have always gotten nothing but solid info here.

Welcome, hope you enjoy your one s
[HTC One S] ATSPerson:
Welcome. I'm relatively new myself having acquired my first HTC indeed my first Android on in May. Loving the experience. You are right, there's some good posters on these fora, if you are into pimping your dial, you can do worse than stick around.

FWIW I had a very good experience with Klins Unofficial AOKP Jelly Bean ROM. I've returned completely to stock now with locked bootloader and a later hboot because I was spending too much time flashing ROMs. Becomes addictive. Now doubt once the OTA JB update has been and gone, I'll get itchy fingers again.

Hope your experience is as good as mine.
[HTC One S] Beppemi:
Go in dev section and look about feedback of different rom. When you read about it, you can decide which rom will be better fot your needs.:good::good:

Updated post. Finished the guide. Hope you guys enjoy. :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jegawhat:
thanks for your guide - I'm needing to get something fresh on my wife's DI2...and I'm not as savvy with the HTCs as I am with my GNex.

The problem I have initially run into is the JDK - I have it installed....but whenever I try to install the Android SDK, the installer tells me that it does not recognize an installed JDK...

Also, I did notice that your Fastbook & ADB link is not active - is it obsolete now?

Thanks again, hopefully I can get this puppy running smoothly soon
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Android SDK includes fastboot and adb, so it isn't necessary. Are you sure you have the JDK installed? What version? I know OpenJDK was giving me trouble so I had to switch to the official JDK.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jegawhat:
Yep, just tried to reinstall 7u7 from the oracle site....no dice with SDK. Weird. I'll try with another PC to see if my laptop just licks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] EVoorhees:
I added the ADB and Fastboot link, I thought it was already added... So, that is my fault. And like prototype said, Android SDK also includes ADB and Fastboot. Hope the best to your wife and the phone. :D

This isn't for a SIM CARD tray unlock. It's just to root you phone and get ROMS and SU apps on it. Look around for a SIM unlock.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JimHTP:
the following:

In my download folder this shows up as an image file, is this right?

Does this mean that C: Android folder I created in the beginning of the guide? If not, where am I supposed to place it?

Does flashing it to my phone mean simply copy/pasting this cwm image file into the adb and fastboot folder?

Sorry guys I've been lurking for weeks. Successfully rooted my galaxy nexus and that was a breeze compared to this!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] EVoorhees:
1.) Yes, an .iso file is a disk image.

2.) I personally like to place it in the C:\ Drive, but people put it where ever they want to.

3.) Yes, just put that in the folder with Fastboot and ADB[API.]
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kdrumwork:
Please fadtboot install as administrator in pc?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] EVoorhees:
It shouldn't have to install. You have to use Fastboot VIA Command Prompt.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kdrumwork:
Ok i try thanks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kdrumwork:
Here this message its in spanish sorry
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] k1mu:
English equivalent: "fastboot" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

That's happening since you're still in the Administrator's directory - C:\Documents and Settings\Administrador\.

You need to use the "cd" command to change to the directory where you downloaded fastboot. Then you'll be able to use that command.

DINC2 locking up when trying to up date SU binary.

It gets stuck on "gaining root access" and doesn't do anything.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FordNate:
I rooted my droid using this very guide.. went from noob to root easily.. Awesome and easy to follow i have to say. Only soft bricked it once since then.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] hyogen:
Followed the OP's step by step guide (just the first post) and everything worked perfect. THANKS... FINALLY I can get rid of the bloatware. I had a stock Inc2 on 2.3.4. Did not have to downgrade or anything.

In the very last step on the Binary Updater it force closed on me... It seems to hang up on "Gaining root access"... Ieverything before that including downloading new binary was "okay!". I had it on 3G mode at first, but then set up Wifi. If for some reason this doesn't work....is this cause for concern? My installed version was 3.1.1.

Hmm....I signed into my Google account on the market, and texts and E-mails were received.... however, the market crashes with a 404. That's an error. The requested URL /intl/%locale%/mobile/android/market-tos.html was not found on this server. That's all we know."

Internet works.. Gonna try manually installing the Google Play store.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] hyogen:
thank the heavens. I've experienced this feeling of utter helplessness and despair before while trying to root phones - never bricked a phone though... after some frantic googling, I decided to try flashing (using same method as OP) the SuperSU (which is just like superuser, but apparently more compatible with some versions or whatever...).

the update on the binary went fine with that. I think any SuperSu.zip would have worked but I specifically googled one with incredible 2 2.3.4.

Then I downloaded the latest google play store APK file....installed it....and now it works :D :D :D

I hope this somehow doesn't get unrooted after a couple days as I've heard happens with some root methods D:

thanks again OP....for a relatively stress free root :D Now if only someone would make a stable Jellybean rom....

Su Binary error

I went through the whole root process, everything went fine up untill SuperSu install. Installed the program but upon updating i get an error of "Downloading new binary... fail! The phone is unlocked but aside for being factory reset it wont pick up my carrier, which is verizon. Hope its just a setting somewhere that I need to toggle. thanks for your time and kind consideration

HTC Incredible 2 - verizon
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] EVoorhees:
That's weird. It should automatically pick up your carrier VIA your SIM card. Correct me if I am wrong. I wouldn't know what to do with that one since for me Verizon is automatically picked up. Also, the back cover of your phone doubles up as an antenna, so make sure that is secured down.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pco052:
I did everything in the tutorial but I can't flash any roms. I tried flashing 7.2 but then it get's stuck on the white htc boot screen. Is this something related to S-ON vs S-OFF?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
Probably. Did you flash the boot.img with fastboot?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] smcr23:
Horseshoes and Hand Grenades

Soooo close!

I followed your very clear instructions exactly to root my DINC2. And it all went smoothly down to the very last step. Everything installed properly. I have tried several times to get superuser update the SU Binary. I get as far as "Downloading new binary"--okay!

Then, at "Gaining root access.. fail!" (the fail is all in red, gloatingly.) Everything else is working fine. It gets a good verizon signal and the phone is otherwise acting like itself. Also, oddly, although I downloaded Superuser 3.1.3-arm-signed.zip from your link, it seems to have installed Superuser 3.1.1

Is there something else I can try?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] smcr23:
I went back and read through the whole thread and others with the same problem. hyogen's fix of installing SuperSU,zip instead of Superuser did the trick for me. I still have S-on, but that wasn't the obstacle. I now have root access anyway.

Thanks hyogen!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] badkarma6085:
I didn't think this thread was really that old. Is it still valid because my first problem is I cannot even log onto HTCDev... gives me the register information but always times out and freezes up. Is their site down? Been trying for 2 days.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FordNate:
It is illegal to unlock the boot loader on a lhone so could be why HTCdev.com (or whatever) isn't working. I used this guide back in 09/12 n it worked then. Plus if you want to know more about HTC n their issues Google it.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jeremytn86:
I think they stopped officially supporting our phone but there is possibly a workaround like they used on the inc 4g. I could be wrong though, I don't remember exactly

Awesome Guide and YouTube Video

Thanks so much for this! I just finished using your info and I'm back up and running. A couple of snags, like yours, so thanks for leaving in the events as they occurred. After a while I could figure out how to troubleshoot and here I am!

Now I have to decide on a ROM so I can get customizing again ...

Thanks so much! :D

stuck on gaining root access

Me too. It gets stuck on "gaining root access..." and never does anything even after quite a few minutes. It has to force close. Then apps that need root access are never granted it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nate7784:
Incredible 2 not listed on HTC Developer list of bootloaders.

Hello all, I am considering doing my first ever Root, but when I created a profile on HTC Developer's site the Incredible 2 (Verizon) was not listed as a possible bootloader option. I saw Incredible on the drop down menu, but nothing for Incredible 2. Did HTC pull support for Incredible 2? If my terminology is off, I apologize and am trying to play catch up as best as I can.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsua98:
I think you should do full s-off instead.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FordNate:
I was thinking full s off or microwave it till it becomes some more useful compared to what it is now.

Sent from my forgotten by HTC Droid Incredible 2. Kept alive by great minds at XDA that haven't forget this phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nate7784:
Ok, I googled around to see what s-off was but i'm still a little hazy on the matter. What would that do and what would be different from say just rooting my incredible 2? And I am still trying to find out if I am even able to root my incredible 2 anymore since HTC does not list it on their developer site as an option anymore. I should prob. also note I do not have high speed access at home, (dial up) so any large files I need to get I have to drive to the public library to download to my flash drive to transport back to work on my home desktop. I live in a dead zone between where one high speed provider's territory ends and the next one's begins and neither will give me access so please be considerate if I can't find resources as easily online as you can.:eek:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] EVoorhees:
I don't know if HTC still supports the Incredible 2 VIA HTC Dev because of how old it is.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] davidrip:
worked with different version, skipped "update" step

Ok, mine works now. I tried pulling a different (older) version of superuser off the internet and I skipped the step of "update binary".
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nate7784:
Well they still had the Incredible listed, which obviously is older. It wouldn't surprise me if VZW pressured them to take off phones that run on big red so they can protect their bloatware. And just to clarify, if HTC dev. no longer supports the incredible 2, then its no longer possible to root it?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsua98:
You can still root w/ revolutionary right?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FordNate:
Question. How come I'm still seeing in on htcdev? It's not hard right there at the tip. Here's a pic

Sent from my forgotten by HTC Droid Incredible 2. Kept alive by great minds at XDA that haven't forget this phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsua98:
I'm guessing people look under "HTC" Incredible 2 instead of "Droid" Incredible 2.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FordNate:
Or once again they dont know how to either Google it and expect others to find their answers, or they don't know how to read
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nate7784:
Yup that's what I did. Apologies, people make stupid mistakes sometimes.:o Anyway, like several users on here got all the way to the end where superuser is trying to gain root access and the app crashes. I downloaded SuperSU version .98 and tried to flash that but apparently I didn't do it right because once I boot into android its not listed in my apps. So wondering how to get the final step resolved and gain root access?

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

No, looked that up and I get to the point where you use the Revolutionary utility to generate a serial number to create a beta key (which is an absurd way to set things up) and a cmd window flashes a split second on my screen and vanishes before I can read what it says. Running windows 7 64 bit.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsua98:
When i did it it worked fine
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jeremytn86:
S off makes it easier to flash roms because you just flash a zip file in recovery, you have to pull the boot IMG to flash if you are not s off, you can also easily flash kernels if you are s off, and you can flash radios and firmware
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nate7784:
Ok, tried once again to use the Revolutionary S-Off tool. I uninstalled HTC Sync but kept the proper drivers 3.0.0.007, ran Revolutionary exe file, and it detected my Incredible 2 (ADR6350 vivow-0.98.0000, Android 2.3.4, ROM verison: 6.01.6.05.05) and says "Your device vivow, with HBOOT 0.98.0000 is not supported at this time.

One dead end after another.

Edit: Ok, so apparently I need to be running 0.97 version of HBOOT, which is stupid. Compatibility shouldn't be this big of a hassle.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jeremytn86:
HTC patched the exploit with the new hboot, there Is a thread that tells you how to downgrade and soff, its stickied I believe

My experience with this tutorial

First let me start by saying, I am kind of new to the mobile platform thing. I have rooted a device before though. I bought a chinese tablet cheap online and after getting it I relized it needed some new firmware bad. The app market was in Chinese! Anyway.... As far as my phone went though I was somewhat wary. I wasn't afraid of bricking it so much as losing the ability to use Google Play Movies. However I was seeing more app conflicts appear and bugs becoming and issue so I used this guide and unlocked the phone using HTC unlocker.

Let me say I am sooo happy I did. This guide is awesome. Well written and the files are clean, current and exactly what you need. Only hang up I had was this... Upon updating the super user binary and gaining root access - It wouldnt do it. I tried 4-5 times, until I read(elsewhere) about somebody trying a earlier version of the superuser zip. So I looked for a version built for Gingerbread (which is what my stock version is running) and it did the trick.

I also am able to run Google play movies without a problem. Note- I am still using the stock ROM. But I have freezed or uninstalled any bloat ware and even got rid of redundant programs like the stock browser/messenger/vz navigator and I am using only my preferred apps like Google Nav, Contact+, Firefox. The phone is running like a well oiled machine. So I am hardpressed to flash a custom ROM on there knowing I may lose certain functions (like front face camera) Which leads me to my next question - can I save my phone in the exact state it is in currently so that if I do flash another ROM and hate it or want to put my current set back it is possible?

Thanks in advance for any replies and also for this awsome guide. Was totally worth rooting, just make sure any NOOB reading this you follow every step and if you have a question ask "before" screwing up.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsua98:
You can do that by doing a backup in a recovery you flash (CWM, TWRP, or 4ext)

Noob question

Quick question: will this wipe the phone? I read the whole thread and didn't see anything on this. I will run a backup just in case, but I wanted to know if anyone had their phone wiped on this method.

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] davidrip:
It wiped mine (i.e. caused a factory reset). For me, that's not a big deal. I just redownload a few apps and I'm up and running again.

OK I got bootloader unlock I past that part but the thing the confused me is were do I put the recovery flash ? He said put in adb and fast boot folder ? Where is that exactly at? Is it in the folder I created c:\android? Can someone help me?

I don't understand the SuperUser part...

Hey EVoorhees! This guide is great and has really helped me root my DI2. The only thing is after I download SuperUser I reboot my phone, click SuperUser, and I can't open a menu or click settings. Do I need to get the full version of SuperUser?? Thanks for the help!

Everything worked except..

I followed the instructions and all went well except for the version of Superuser that was identified. Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip just hung during the binary update process, I ended up using Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip and the process went through without a hitch.

Thanks for all the great info.

Hi! I have a problem with my phone. Cant unbrick. Switch power button and have white screen with logo htc (and when i try switch to recovery or factory reset too). I successfully unlock the bootloader (unlocked-relocked) but whenever i try to flash the recovery with recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivow.img and 4EXTRecovery, have next:

c:\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (5330 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... OKAY

but nothing changes - white screen logo after reboot and white logo on recovery/factory reset. Can flash from Fastboot 'system.iso" "recovery.iso" and "boot.iso". Another files like "hboot.iso" & "data.iso" - not. Update roms from SDcard - "Update fail! Main Version Is Older!". Cant erase user data cache from fastboot - fail.

ADB does not define my phone, work only fastboot. Cant downgrade and take s-off. Please help unbrick :crying:
