I sent Hansoon my files, he wants a few more it seems. The temproot command is updated in the OP BTW.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] hasoon2000:
I need an original. The patch I made didn't modify the IMEI. That's why I want to verify in on another one
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
when I try it now, I get the same error (the one you said to ignore)

I then hit Restore on my phone and it says "Restore Starting..."

then a few seconds later "Restore Complete"

but the error doesn't stop, just continues to loop over and over
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] CaptainRewind:
When you adb reboot then adb shell do you get the # or $ symbol?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] hasoon2000:
I may have a one click tool.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Linch89:
you got farther than i did i have never seen ''restore complete''

i tried this command > adb shell "while ! ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/com.android.settings/a/file99; do :; done" <enter>

terminal loops cannot input adb reboot

@hasoon what channel are you on?

@capt if i hit adb shell <enter> i get the $ not the #. we cant adb reboot bc the terminal loops.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
I never get to the adb reboot step because the error never stops
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pete02:
I rebooted the phone and my computer. Tried it again and this time while the prompt was looping I pressed restore on my phone and the prompt stopped. I adb rebooted and the phone rebooted back with the inoperable UI as described in the directions however I'm not seeing a "#" or "$" anywhere and it won't accept the next command. It just keeps saying 'dd' is not recognized as an internal or external command?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] CaptainRewind:
Try another terminal? This is the exact procedure so something might be different about the devices still having issues. That command should basically create the symlink as soon as your click restore on the device. The symlink adds a file called /data/local.prop which contains "ro.kernel.qemu=1" which means it will boot in emulator mode (thus giving us temproot).

I may have to re-HTC-lock and try this all over again to make sure everything is right. If it comes to that it might not be until this evening at the earliest.

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------

Sounds like you are temprooted at this point! Congratulations! Now, do an adb shell and you should see the shell prompt is "#". If so, proceed.

---------- Post added at 09:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 AM ----------

It sounds like temproot isn't working on your device. But you shouldn't see the "#" until after reboot. Try adb reboot in another terminal window and then adb shell and see if you get "#"?

This issue seems to be affecting multiple people. All I know for sure is that the timing is VERY IMPORTANT. I've done that temproot procedure so many times in the past few weeks so I'm wondering what's different about these devices having issues.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pete02:
Yes I am! Onward I go! Thanks for all your help btw Captain!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] CaptainRewind:
Good to hear. Once you're all done, feel free to click thanks on any posts you think were helpful. ;)

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] CaptainRewind:
I'm in, had "#hansoon2000" with an "n". Stupid typos. :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pete02:
I'm almost there but am I supposed to be pushing the original mmcblk0p4 file back in like the directions say or the MOD version? I went into bootloader and was still showing VZW__001.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] CaptainRewind:
the MOD version but it seems the OP needs cleaning still. Will get on that.

EDIT: OK I saw the confusion and updated Jose's original post. I think it was causing confusion, so he removed it, then re-added it due to further confusion. :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pete02:
Success! :good: Just waiting on HTC to send me the email now and I should be good to go! Thanks again for everything you guys and I will be sure to thank every helpful post!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] DavDoc:
Just an observation - It seems some are having trouble getting temp root, not consistently though. If this is the first time installing SDK to your computer and you have updated your PATH in Environment Variables, you may need to reboot your computer for it to take effect.

I may be wrong on my diagnosis, but it makes sense after reading through all of Pete02's post and seeing this problem solved upon doing this.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] brycekerr:
I had the same issue, the path updated for me upon opening a new command prompt

Sent from my ADR6410LVW using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] CaptainRewind:
RIGHT! When you update your PATH Environment Variable you must restart the terminal you are working in! Forgot about that thanks!!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pete02:
That could be because I did have to update some of the SDK tools so the reboot may very well have done it for me.

I received the email from HTC and I am officially unlocked! This worked like a charm and you guys rock big time!

Remember to check junk folder
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] CaptainRewind:
Anyone having issues this morning please join IRC using the details that Hasoon2000 posted earlier. We are actively helping users there.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
In case anyone is still having issues with this, it could be a FAT32 limitation. If you have a lot of items installed and/or data on your phone, the backup file may be very large (my backup file is 4.67gb) and FAT32 has a limitation of 2gb file size. I first tried to do the backup on a FAT32 USB external HDD, and the process hung up/stopped when the file hit about 2gb (which coincidentally was at com.android.sharedstoragebackup). After changing the backup location to an NTFS partition, it went through with no problem. It did take a little while to finish moving all that data, though.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
Thank you for your hardwork guys! Is it possible to undo this once we finish the procedure? I remember there being ways to get S-ON after S-OFFing on other phones. Now, though this is not S-OFF but just HTCdev unlock, I was curious if there is a similar way to undo things... Not a big deal either way. Just curious!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
you can relock but it will show bootloader relocked which still voids your garranty but if we ahieve s off we can modify bootloader to look like we did not do anything
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] gfresh4:
Tried everything. My unit will not take temp root at all. I might send unit back to VZW or just sell. :cool:

Edit: Unit Unlocked thanks to Jose51197. His (.bat) file worked fine. Thanks to everyone involved in helping us enjoy and appreciate our units allot more.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
try new one click method and report back please
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Method320:
Getting the looping error. Tried with and without "-c" after shell. Ideas?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] CaptainRewind:
So you get the error, which is expected. When you actually click restore on the device does it stop? Join IRC maybe we are still actively working on people's issues or maybe try Jose's one-click.

We need someone to try another potential exploit
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
I think you only need to push the second file "Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip" as it contains both the su binary and the app. Correct?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] CaptainRewind:
Yeah that's true... I had that up there since I was using the binary only for a time and since this is brand-new method wanted peeps to have it if anything else failed.

Once more peeps are updated we'll clean this thread up.

---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------

OK People having issues temprooting: This morning I added some lines for clarification about setting up your device, and some lines got into the OP that mention setting a backup password. If you setup a backup password, you MUST enter it everytime you try to restore the fakebackup.ab.

Apologies for that. The OP has been updated with that removed. I was just adding some text that another user sent for clarification and didn't notice that.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
Captain...remember earlier when you and hasoon helped me through this?

I know you have a one-click up on the OP now, but just thought i'd let you know...after I did the factory reset and started the process manually...

I used this

adb shell

while ! ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/com.android.settings/a/file99; do :; done

instead of what you have there now. This was the original code you had up there, and it worked for me AFTER the factory reset

idk if that would help anyone in any way but just thought i'd mention it lol
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Method320:
How long with this method be valid though? Surely htc will see this flaw and fix their site?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] CaptainRewind:
Guys mdmower fixed an issue that I found but was busy helping others. Get this file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cbdentcz99q5qwi/inc4g_root_script.zip and copy root.bat inside that zip over-top of the one in the zip posted in the OP. Jose will fix this soon.

---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

I don't know which is why I've been frantically helping peeps all day!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
jose51197 updated the OP with the new root.bat, so no need to download this separately now.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Dkesler76:
okay tried the automated scrpited on my brothers phone got this no file

C:\Documents and Settings\ch_mmbeehive\My Documents\Downloads\fireballas unlock

adb push mmcblk0p4MOD /sdcard/mmcblk0p4MOD

cannot stat 'mmcblk0p4MOD': No such file or directory

C:\Documents and Settings\ch_mmbeehive\My Documents\Downloads\fireballas unlock

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p4MOD of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

/sdcard/mmcblk0p4MOD: cannot open for read: No such file or directory
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Method320:
After you changed the CID did you SAVE AS and add "MOD" to the end of the file name?

Edit: If you just hit SAVE after modifying with a hex editor, I'd first save AS and add MOD to the end of the file name, and before Pushing that file to your phone, PULL mmcblk0p4 again just to have a backup.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] CaptainRewind:
This was just reuploaded with that fixed. Looks like you're getting past temproot though which has been a headache for some people today.

Anyways try redownloading. The root.bat had a typo.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Method320:
Bah, ignore my previous post. I missed the part that said he was using the automated script.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
yes i just tried this and now i don't even get the restore screen
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] CaptainRewind:
So you still are not getting temproot then? Have you tried to reset to factory defaults in the bootloader?

---------- Post added at 07:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

Also try on your 64-bit pc since we were having trouble with your 32-bit machine today. Please

---------- Post added at 07:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

Also, another thought would be to disable antivirus while doing these steps.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
yeah done it all, i can't figure out why the auto script won't give me the restore screen.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] CaptainRewind:
Maybe just open the root.bat in notepad (or preferably notepad++) and run each command manually and then we can narrow it down. Something is different about your device or setup somehow and we need to figure out what.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
jose was doing that earlier, but we ran out of time. maybe 2moro,getting kind of tired, so should you be, too thanks for all the help today i really appreciate it.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
hey jose i got it unlocked buddy, don't ask me how all i know it worked
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
Congratulations!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] ceayuso:
I just went through this process:

1. It was easy to miss when to accept the restore. This caused me to have to Factory Reset to get back to a usable state.

2. It looks as though in the batch file, hexalter is saving the file with the original name but the next step is looking for the name with "MOD" appended to it. I manually renamed the file then did the rest of the steps.

I was able to get all the way through the steps in the first two posts. Thanks for the great work!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
yes sir it unlocked wow what a daY

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] OldNut5:
I hope I'm not the only one that followed you're manual way of unlocking of bootloader and root before you uploaded the automated script, and had no problems the first try, it worked perfectly fine for me. OS was Windows 8 pro 64 bit. Thanks anyway.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
1. I agree with your concern. I've sent a more readable batch script to jose that he'll look over and possibly post.

2. If you're using the latest version of the unlock package, the correct filename conventions are used ("mod" is intentionally appended when writing to sd since the original filename already exists there, but then "mod" is removed when copying to /dev/block)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] CaptainRewind:

The latest version for ARM processors on the site linked in my second post. If you look at the adb push command below the link, you will see the full filename.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tracerit:
I read a few weeks ago that the new minimum is 2GB data at $20/mo for new lines. However my parents lines only have 200MB data since they barely use any at all, can I upgrade/renew their lines with two Galaxy Note IIs and maintain the 200MB data or will T-Mobile require a push to 2GB?

I'd ask in the store but i'm pretty sure they'll just say 2GB.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deleted member 2747343:
you can keep the 200 mb if youve had it before they made the requirement for 2gb

new contracts require 2gb minimum

so yes you can renew it and keep the 200mb for the lines
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tracerit:
just stopped by a retail T-Mobile store and was told I'd need to change to 2GB in order to get the discount off the phone. looks like i'll have to check around.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jay.dub:
You will have to upgrade to the 2GB plan. The only way to upgrade the phones and keep 200mb is to buy the phones full retail. At which case you might look at switching to the Value plan. It is a much better deal and no data requirements.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] john.2011:
true I just paid MY galaxy note 2 in full price
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tracerit:
great, thanks for the replies. if i have to upgrade to the 2GB, then I'm probably just going to get the phones and upgrade from wirefly. Well i'll wait to see what deals this TMobile sale will be like this weekend. Thanks for the info!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lowandbehold:
You don't have to upgrade the 200mb. You are grandfathered into it. Call T-mobile to order the phone...and if you talk to customer loyalty, you will get an even sweeter deal. Don't do the value plan either. It makes your phone worth significantly less. So if you plan on switching phones before 2 years is up, try to stay on classic.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] DeoreDX:
I was able to upgrade through best buy mobile ebay store and was able to upgrade a line with NO data, get my Note II, and did not have to add ANY data to that line. I was able to save my personal line eligible for upgrade with data on it for a rainy day.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] paul2834:
I did exactly what this guy did and was able to keep my 200MB data plan that way and got the phone for a measly $250 (not including tax). I'm not surprised you didn't have to add any data. Seems to be an oversight on their site. You should be able to go through T-Mobile and get the upgrade without losing your 200MB, but you won't get the full upgrade. The 16GB model is $370 with the $50 MIR, but you only qualify for the rebate if you're on at least the 2GB data plan, so you're looking at a $420 phone if you go through T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Superdad_98:
you can keep your 200 MB plan, Just call t-mobile and tell then you want to upgrade your phone to Note 2 but you do not want to change your Data plan.

That what I did and made them note in my account, and then I shopped around and the cheapest I found was at wirefly I ordered the phone from them they have to put you on the 2 GB plan but once you receive the phone and you call to activate the sim card you will tell them to switch you back to the 200 MB. and they will do that.

Fadi
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdiddy_ub:
if you are going to sign a new 2 year contract you should give tmobile a call...i posted this on another thread...i got $200 additional off of the $420 2 year contract price AND i got to keep my rebate AND i got my upgrade fee waived...so essentially i got the phone for $208 total

just ask them to work with you and see if you can get a discount cause the other major carriers also carry it at a cheaper price

i dont know if this played a major factor or not, but i have been with tmobile for 7-8 years and i mentioned that to them

i also noticed that my data plan was switched from $25 (my g1 grandfathered data) to $35...i called to complain about that and said i would return the phone if they didnt switch it back...they switched it back
