Wow, balls of steel you have got. Clearly you are ready for S-Offing then.. Telling the dev responsible to shut up and let others assist is clearly not the way to score brownie points... ;)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] LadyX:
I see you have successfully used and enjoy our tools.. you want us to keep making them? Read my OP - anything OT will be grounds for us closing this thread. We don't *have to* make tools and release them for you to use, we do so because we want to .. and what we don't want is people getting confused on what is supported by our team and what isn't. If it's not supported by our team, it's not to be posted in OUR THREAD. Feel free to post a thread about how to temproot your devices, or post in the current one.

Have a little respect for the people who're making tools so that you can play with your device.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jtdogblue:
Being factory s-off, I find this quite entertaining. Whats so hard about including temproot in the instructions? Or is it just a massive trolling scheme to lure people like Jafmf95?

Either way, big thanks to team unlimited for providing our community with this. :good:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] LadyX:
Team Unlimited does not make, support, give advice on temproot. We ONLY build S-OFF, and that is the only thing we write instructions for. You may use any method of temproot available.. which would mean that we would have to build / test / maintain instructions for every available method. If you look at every one of our S-OFF tools you will see that we do not support / give instructions for any rooting or any ROM. We leave the instructions and the support of tools we don't make to the dev's that build them.. just like we expect people leave the instructions and support of our tools to us. Out of respect for the devs that make temproot (and other tools) as well we know what our skill set is.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
I just want to explode when I see a post like this, I can only imagine what it does to the Team, I for one would like to say sorry to Team Unlimited.IO for this guys fool-ishness. If you have a problem keep it to yourself. Do not come into their thread and talk this crap. You are disrespecting them and their work and it not only pisses them off but everyone else in this community. We all are VERY grateful to LadyX, Fuses and Hyuh for taking their free time to give us something wonderful.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jtdogblue:
Aha, that makes much more sense. That should clear things up for everyone else as well, and thanks for taking the time to explain it.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] littlebo:
Works fine on Win XP 32bit. Thanks LadyX for a nice tool !

IMHO all those debates bout temproot are so foolish , the method is very simple and described in the first post stickied in dev section. If someone is so fool to find it then dont mess play smrtphones , go milk a cow )
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jcpowell:
I'm going for s-off tonight so I had a question I know the teams rule to follow directions closely and DO NOT STRAY FROM THEM and don't post directions in this thread which I understand and agree with but I have read in this thread about an issue with this step

C:\RabiesShot>adb shell echo "ro.kernel.qemu=1" > /data/local.prop

So before I run into this if I shall I wanted to know what was the issue and how was it resolved? I know there was something simple to do with a space if I copy and paste the command so I read so is tgat all it was just delete a space

I hope its not out of line for me to ask this in this thread in the manner I did I just want this to run smoothly with no glitches or panicky moments on my part, thank you.

from my all powerful Inc4G
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] LadyX:
Follow the directions exactly as the website states (which is not what you copied above) and you won't have issues. If you do have issues please join our support #. The issue that you're referring to was a PEBKAC and to resolve them you just need to follow the directions.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jcpowell:
I'm sorry I just read something about deleting a space and copied someone else's post of the command I have reviewed the process several times and got my folder ready ill join the irc tonight if I have anymore issues, thank you again.

s-off achieved! :D

Thanks again to unlimited.io for a great tool! Extra Special Thanks to LadyX for answering all of my questions in IRC.

The entire process went smoothly using an Ubuntu LiveCD and following instructions to the T. No issues whatsoever.

If you have questions, as LadyX posted above, I highly recommend their support #. LadyX was extremely generous and patient with me and my questions, of which I am sure she has heard dozens (if not hundreds) of times already.

i really enjoyed the racun, and his journey into the refrigerator. clever critter, tidying up afterwards.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] demid30:
So there is no way to do this with a 32gb sd card in the phone? The only reason I ask is both my 16gbs and 8gb sd cards were ruined in the flooding from hurricane sandy...I didn't want to go buy one unless its absolutely necessary...amazing job getting s-off though! I can't wait to be s-off
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] blazingwolf:
It's necessary. The tool will tell you that as well if you have something larger in there.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] x2kjosh:
I agree. That eased the nerves a bit
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Linch89:
Fuses ran my test with my 32 gb but if the instructions say no then I'd say no
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] demid30:
Ok thanks..I was gonna try with the 32gb anyways but I'll just wait until I can get a smaller one..

So windows xp is not supported? Guess I read wrong I don't understand what live cd is any info on this I downloaded it but I don't know what it is? I couldn't get into emulator mode when I attempted to so the dirty racun steps #13 got me it wouldn't take my commands kept saying cannot find path specified or whatever guess no s-off for me cause this be me only computer. Im also having issues flashing the RUU.Zip it wouldn't say error it just hung after I ran command to flash ruu.zip seems like a simple and important command to know and run if you own this phone but no not for me just hanged and eventually crashed would this be cause of xp cause I didn't read in any other threads that flashing ruu had to be on any specific os

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
LiveCD is a way to run Ubuntu (Linux) from a CD without installing it on your system. Download the 32-bit version here: LiveCD Download Page. Then burn the image to a CD. If done correctly, the result should be a bootable Ubuntu CD. Boot from it, and choose "Try Ubuntu". This will then boot Ubuntu OS (will not affect your WinXP install at all). Firefox is built in, so you can open a firefox window to read the step by step instructions on unlimited.io, and also download all files that you need. You can also open a terminal window next to the browser to do all of the needed commands. Follow the directions to the letter, they are very straightforward and go well in Ubuntu.

Flashing RUU is not OS specific, but life is better in Ubuntu for DirtyRacun since both Ubuntu and your phone are Linux native so they play very nicely together, and there are no nasty windows drivers to cause problems.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jcpowell:
Thank you I didn't understand the burn image to cd to boot off of, the live cd deal was confusing me. I still don't know what my ruu issue was but hopefully I'll figure everything out in ubuntu I'll try again tomorrow.

XP 32bit is ok, S-OFFed 4 phones already, so far so good.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dajogejr:
This is my Friday project.

Folks....just a quick Question.

I have all the files downloaded...ready to rock.

I will use a Win7 32 bit PC at work, as instructed to do so.

Start to finish, I'm not a full on retard but I'm not 100% phone savvy like a developer (this is my 5th android phone, all previous have been S-OFF and rooted).

How long does this process take, start to finish? I only ask because I have to plan my day accordingly.

Thanks!!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jcpowell:
If they say its not supported and I'm having issues getting into the emulator mode and they won't help me since I'm on xp then I can't do anything cause I need assistance so great it worked for you on xp but I cannot get it to take my commands

adb shell echo "ro.kernel.qemu=1" > /data/local.prop adb reboot

Any help beyond don't use xp

from my all powerful Inc4G
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
I would say your problem is one of three things:

1. You are not temp rooted

2. You do not have USB debugging turned back on after the RUU install

3. Windows drivers misbehaving (which could be why it is unsupported)

Also, that's two steps, not one like you have listed above.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
In adb type:

adb shell

verify that it returns #

if it's a $ you aren't temp rooted
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dajogejr:
Just finished up. A little over an hour all said and done. Not 100% true to the instructions...but darned close.

When I was supposed to get to this message:

(remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately

I got a remote:92 FakeCID note instead.

I pushed on and ran the flush again, then I got the Remote:90 error, flushed again, and third time was a charm.

I had an issue when I temp-rooted, instead of waiting for the restore to say it's complete, I didn't...so I had to do that twice.

Otherwise, once done, I installed TWRP and restored my backup without issue.

Thanks Team Unlimited.IO. Much appreciated!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] demid30:
So to use ubuntu when you say burn image to disk, you mean mount it to disk using poweriso? like your burning an os as a bootable disk to install an operating system? But instead of installing it you hit try instead? and then you download all the files from ubuntu? also do you need to have a rom installed on the micro sd before starting or can you switch to a different micro sd card after s-offing? I ask cause I need to use a smaller micro sd since 32gb ones arent safe to use for this. I just want to figure everything out in my head before starting this.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] LadyX:
I highly suggest you read up on Ubuntu LiveCd and how to use it. It's off topic for this thread. You need to have Stock RUU on your phone and an SD card between 2 - 16GB as it says in the instructions. 32GB sd cards aren't "not safe" it just plain will not work.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] demid30:
Ok I'll read up on that...I read all your instructios though..you only put the stock RUU on your phone when it says to do so in the instructions and at no point before that..I'm unlocked with fakecid and rooted with custom Rom. I have all intentions of following your instructions step by step, that's why I'm using the newest ubuntu because all computers I can use have windows 7 64 bit..even though there's reports of it working on 64 bit I'm not going to take the risk, ill do exactly what your instructions say..
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] LadyX:
FakeCID may cause problems and possibly a brick. I highly suggest you return your CID to normal before proceeding.

"also do you need to have a rom installed on the micro sd before starting or can you switch to a different micro sd card after s-offing?"

Your device needs to be Stock RUU as stated in the instructions prior to using DirtyRacun. That RUU is your phones OS basically.. this has nothing to do with your SD card. You may switch the SD card after you are successfully S-OFF. A ROM isn't "installed on the micro sd card" so I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but fix FakeCID and follow the directions on the website and you shouldn't have issues. If you do have issues you can join our support # for help.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] demid30:
Ok ill return cid to normal first...haha yea I dunno why I even asked about the Rom, I wasn't thinking that the ruu will all ready be installed, that was stupid...thanks ill come to your support if I need it..

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
yes, i'm having the same issue.

i tried it again it it went to bootloader on second try
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jcpowell:
I got s off but it destroyed my sd card which led to me botching a restore which led to flashing ruu.zip now my boooader is locked no recovery no Su or root but I'm s off how do I install recovery now cause it wont install
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] LadyX:
Well this is off topic for this thread.. but you would simply RUU, unlock, flash recovery, su and then do whatever you want with your device. This wasn't an after effect of the S-OFF process unless you didn't follow directions.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
not to be an ass.. but I did bring this up in support, three times now, and I didn't get a response about it. but you are right, I'm not arguing.

I just thought it was ok to ask if anyone else was having this issue, wasn't asking for a solution.

Sorry :(
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] LadyX:
Looking at all of my channel scroll I see you mentioned it to Fuses once on Wednesday, and Fuses asked you a few questions about it. You then asked questions about the temproot process and did not bring back up the reboot issue. I guess what I'm saying is.. if you already have a working relationship with Team Unlimited (which you like to bring up that you have) why not just come back and talk to us and ask if we're making any progress? As my OP says - if you need help this thread isn't the place for it. Sure you can ask everyone if they are having an issue, but how does that fix it?

We expect that anyone having a weird issue would come to the support # and lets us know so we can try to fix it. If we have one test phone that went through the process a few times is having a weird issue, how do we know it's more than just the test phone? Anyway.. if you want to come talk to the team about the issue you're having you know where to find us. If you want to poll people about their HBOOT feel free.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jcpowell:
Sorry to go off topic so many times but I'm fully s-off and unlocked and thank you so very much for your patience with me your tool was amazingly perfect with the exception of destroying my sd card which I new might be a possiblity which led to my losing root and recovery but was my own ignorance in attempting to restore a botched backup. Thank you again I am very happy with the way the dirty racun worked and would recommend it highly

---------- Post added at 02:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 AM ----------

ok so i had to go back to windows to get temp root but i got it...so how do I know if im in emulator mode? i did "adb shell echo "ro.kernel.qemu=1" > /data/local.prop" and got this "bash: /data/local.prop: No such file or directory

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/dirtyracun$" So that doesn't seem like it worked...ahhh what am I doing wrong this is so frustrating..i shouldnt be having this many problems

If one had unlocked prior,Is it acceptable to fastboot boot recovery and flash superuser as an alternative to other temp root processes?

No. That will not work. If you flash anything other than temproot (recovery, SuperCID, etc) our tool will error as "Not Stock RUU" and you cannot proceed.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
When I went S-OFF the day you released the tool, it ruined the SD card's file system, as was expected. It wasn't a big deal because I backed up all the data on the SD card, but just noticed today that it left behind a 'sdcard.img' file on the internal storage, around the same size as the data that was on the SD card. I tried mounting this in the Android SDK emulator, but it won't mount. Is this img file a compressed state of the SD card before the process? If so, how would I access it?

i had the same wiped sd card issue,but that was no biggie id used a small spare in anticipation of it(same one ive used several times with the jpbear tool) and a reformat fixed it right up to being recognized i the phone again.

For those befuddled at, or perhaps pissing and moaning about step #12, just use the tool from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35960433&postcount=385

I hit a snag when running RabiesShot.exe for the first time. For some reason, the phone didn't reboot into bootloader, it just did a normal reboot. If that happens, just run the tool again, it should work, as long as you're temp rooted and in emulator mode.

Lastly, I don't know whether or not the Linux version will work on Mac OS, since after installing EasyTether, adb no longer works (I'm doing a clean install of Mountain Lion, just so I can be rid of that problem!) I can confirm, however, that this worked running Windows 7 x86 through Parallels 8.
