yeah, right ... seems like i renamed the script after download (quite some while ago), corrected the name in the start-post & ... added a remark about TWRP-2.6.3.0h ;)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] puhleez:
I wasn't able to make this work. Anyone else able to? Never appeared to achieve root. Guessing it's because the rumrunner rebooted the device. Tried the Linux version of mdmower script for temp root. Already updated to latest OTA.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tj13:
It worked for me. You need the temp root script to successfully do the temp root. The phone will appear to hang on boot after you have temp root. Once s-off is achieved you will need to do a factory reset.

The process does take a long time and several reboots. The PC you are working from also needs internet. The software unlocks the boot-loader. I believe it needs to obtain the unlock code from htcdev.com.

One more thought. If you run the issued the command "adb devices" does your device show up. If it doesn't you need to install the drivers.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] puhleez:
So based on what everybody is saying I actually had temp root since I had the status bar with no lock ring. I guess the issue was with rumrunner then.

I also tried to get an unlock from htcdev but encountered an error 160 invalid MID I think.

Device appears under adb devices.

Thanks for the reply.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tj13:
USB debug is enabled?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] stevey500:
Ran temproot, the phone booted to statusbar, no unlock-ring.

Tested sudo ./adb shell and had #: access, able to cd into /data/data etc and list files.

Ran rumrunner script, script reboots to fastboot as test1, then reboots for ADB as test2. When it reboots, it's no longer in temp-root. Script is removing temproot in beginning test phases thus script fails when it finds out later that it has no SU access. Any way around this? Or any other way to achieve SU on latest OTA to be able to run rumrunner's script properly?

Thanks
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
rumrunner is NO script, but rather a pre-compiled binary! so no chance to edit ;)

did you make sure to follow "rumrunners instructions"? seems like you ran it on linux (most successful ppl here did it on Win, albeit Win8.x _might_ be problematic as well):

1) 32-bit Linux (Ubuntu is preferred)
•Live CD’s are fine.
•Live USB is fine.
•Native install is fine.
•VM’s are unsupported.
•64-bit Linux may work with 32 bit libraries, but is unsupported.

2) A _working internet_ connection (on your linux system!)
3) USB _debugging enabled_ on your device (in developers options)
4) Fastboot _disabled_ on your device (settings -> battery -> UNcheck “fast boot”)

otherwise ... try on a Win7 machine, only HTC drivers _installed_ (NO HTC-Sync installed, but completely removed/deinstalled!!), NO other phone software installed (Kies, PDAnet etc) ... firewalls / internet security _disabled_, otherwise network filtering could get you stuck ... same restrictions 2), 3) & 4) from linux-rumrunner also apply!

maybe it's your linux firewall that intercepts the needed bits???

good luck :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] stevey500:
Thanks for the response!

I ran it in 32 bit ubuntu Linux, all files on my home directory. No firewall, direct connection to ISP. I followed their guide exactly except putting the phone into temp-root before I started.

The rumrunner binary in linux appears to find the phone, reboot to bootloader, finds bootloader, reboots to find ADB... at this point is when I realize rumrunner has removed temp-root as I can see home-screen icons and unlock ring, and later on waiting a few minutes further, rumrunner says no SU and cannot continue.

I will try to run rumrunner binary in windows 7 with only HTC drivers installed, open firewall, boot back up into temp-root and see what it does. :good:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
dunno, maybe the "temp-root" for linux and win are different ... but for win when the "temp-root" script finished successfully, i started the rumrunner "soju" and it worked flawlessly. previously i tried rumrunner w/o "temp-root" and ended where you were: no SU/root or unsafe kernel found = cannot continue.

so maybe the prob is with your temp-root script rather than with the actual rumrunner?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] stevey500:
Cool, maybe that is the case then. I'll try windows temp-root & windows rumrunner with HTC drivers as soon as I have a moment to try. Hope it works! This phone is a sluggish borderline unbearable crapper with HTC's stock firmware. I know it's got to be ten folds more tolerable with CM11's latest release for it.

I really appreciate the responses.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] therreid:
I plan on giving it a try as soon as I get another dinc4g that I bought from eBay. Will report results. Going to use Windows 7. Never could get Linux to work off the CD......
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] stevey500:
Awesome, let us know how it goes. I'll be trying the same tomorrow.

Communication between the phone and computer in linux seems to be a lot more solid. I always do phone modifications through the linux terminal. Connection through ADB/fastboot, etc seem to be really solid. So it makes me wonder if the linux binary of rumrunner might be a bit different, it's removing the temp-root flag on it's opening tests, maybe the windows binary doesn't have that step in the binary.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tj13:
I used Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] stevey500:
Cool.

Your device was fully-stock, never before rooted running the latest OTA?

And you had to put the phone into temp-root before soju.exe, correct?

Just making sure you had the exact same situation. :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tj13:
Same exact same thing. I bough it for my wife off ebay. I tried to root it with the old method but failed. I didn't know about the OTA then. I was bummed when I found out about it. I expected no one would work on it at this late day in it's life. I did have to run the new method twice. It failed the first time. I've got her on CM 10.2.1. I had already rooted mine nearly a year ago. I'm running, CM11, the latest nightly. I flash the new nightly every morning with my coffee.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] stevey500:
Awesome news :)

In the process, when your phone was sitting in temp-root (unusable state with no lock-ring), starting rumrunner, after the first series of reboots, was it booting back up into the temp-root mode still? That's where mine was failing, the beginning stages of rumrunner knocked it out of temp-root every time I re-temprooted and re-ran rumrunner.

Can't wait to try the windows version, awesome it worked for you. CM11 perform alright for you?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
hope it works out for you as well stevey ;) ... our HTC fireball (Dinc4G) is such a lovely device: speedy, but still comfortably small in size

... unfortunately just not that much loved by devs (anymore).

okay, i wouldn't mind a "HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE NEWPLUS+" ... quad-core krait version with 2gb ram ... as long as they _keep_ the capacitive-buttons, _keep_ the microSD-slot, _keep_ the small width of the device (slimmer bezel leads to 4.3" screen at _same_ dimensions?!), _beef-up_ the battery even more but _keep_ it replaceable ... AND ... KEEP the ___design___ ^-^!!!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] stevey500:
Worked!

Failed the first few times. Kept getting "Fatal download updated package.. etc" in the middle of the reboot processes. I rebooted windows, disabled AVG and ran soju exe as administrator privileges and BAM.

Thank you guys, this definitely does work on an incredible 4g running the latest OTA. Too easy.

Installed CM11 latest nightly and latest KK gapps, radio is really flaky though with no MMS. Are you experiencing something similar? Looking to see if I need to update the radio rom or boot img?

Hmm.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tj13:
I am glad it finally worked for you.

Because you were on the latest OTA, you have the proper radio for CM 11. I haven't noticed any issues with the radio.

I am running CM 11 on my phone. I did however put 10.2.1 on my wife's. I believe it's more stable. CM 11 is still a work in progress.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] stevey500:
Interesting, that's true. Wonder what I'm doing wrong. Seems to be okay right now. No MMS though. APN list doesn't have MMS entries and when I attempt entering them, the APN info does not save. Interesting. That's off topic of the thread, maybe I'll go poke around CyanogenMod forums and Google around for a resolution.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] megaghostgamer:
I currently have a razr m but it has some issues such as hepatic feedback (vibration) went dead and SD slot has trouble mounting so I'll be getting a dinc 4g Saturday and I'll be looking forward to working with a great community! My RAZR m is a Lil more powerful with 1.5ghz dual core s4 but I saw the OC threads if I ever really wanted to have speed. My concern will be battery cause I love my current battery life, I've yet to see any complaints as far as battery life being bad so that's a good thing. I'm just glad to see that I'll be able to flash Roms again considering my RAZR m has a locked boot loader.

To make this post relevant to the thread (sorry for going off course) , I'd like to say I do have windows 8.1 on my laptop and whenever I do receive my dinc 4g I'll be sure to post my results. I remember doing the s-off process with my evo shift.

Looking forward to working with you all! Have a great day! :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
1) remember to grab the latest 4.xxx HTC drivers (not HTC Sync etc, _only_ the drivers) ... as the older HTC 3.x drivers won't work with Win8.x (there's a driver thread here around as well) ... disable any firewall or antivirus software & make sure you have a working inet connection on your laptop

2) dun worry about 1.2GHz vs 1.5GHz: nearly all Dinc4Gs run just fine on 1.5 ... and most even at 1.8 w/o trouble (apart from getting hotter and sucking the juice out of your batt somewhat faster)

3) about batt life: on ICS *cough* reaching 1% / hr is common (with the Infernal-Kernel) ;) ... JB & KK might be a bit worse, as there isn't as good, as there's no real custom kernel, enabling 192MHz as lowest instead of 384MHz ... as well as missing a few good govenors to choose from ;) (also dun recall if deep-sleep is avail on JB or KK)

PS: good luck with ... S-OFF'ing your new toy :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tj13:
Mine's using the "LTE - Verizon Internet" one. Maybe it's not possible to edit the default list. You could try to add a brand new. I don't know if I use MMS very much if at all. I text a little and stream Pandora. I did notice there is a difference in APNs from the 3g ones. I also noticed my MNC setting differs from what I Googled. It's 480.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] stevey500:
I've read a bit on other Verizon-LTE devices with Cyanogenmod such as the GS3, 4, note2, etc that they are experiencing weird APN and radio issues the past few CM11 nightlies. Guess I'll just keep flashing nightlies until it seems to function correctly. If it takes a while reverting to CM10.2 for the fireball might be the best bet in the time being. Thanks for the followup.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dcooterfrog:
i ran this this wekeend on a rpalcement hone verizon sent me.

couple of notes.

when in temproot the phone is "unresponsive" but some stuff doeswork. I was able to get into settings and make changes by pulling dowwn fornt the notification bar.

the phone stays in temp root until you do factory reset

i had ro re run rum runner more than once for it to complete successfully but no harm was done.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] megaghostgamer:
I haven't been able to run this, so in love with stock. When and if I run it ill report back what happened. Thanks and have a great day.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] BlowUpTheOutsideWorld:
I got a replacement yesterday.

Cant root, get s-off or unlock bootloader.

The best i've gotten was

TAMPERED

S-on

LOCKED

My last one, I was able to root and unroot and re-root (forgot to set cid back) and unroot again no problem.

This one even the stock ruu's give me a bootloader error.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dcooterfrog:
that's what i got. as i said i had to re run it two more times

eventually I got tampered/ s off / i cant remember if it unlocked boot loader but i dont care

then i loaded a new hboot i created with regamod so it looks untampered.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] BlowUpTheOutsideWorld:
I think it's the new bootloader 1.16.0000 that's the issue.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dcooterfrog:
mine was a replacement from verizon and it had the 1.16 boot loader. i just had to run it more than once
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] megaghostgamer:
couldn't seem to get the temp root working. Cid stayed at Vzw. I tried it on 2 different laptops, one being windows 8.1 the other being 7. I'm in no hurry to get this done, just whenever anyone has time and is willing to cooperate, let me know! :) Thanks and have a great day!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dcooterfrog:
which temproot method did you use
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kimba99:
if you are in _no hurry to get it done_ ... i assume ... you READ the instructions on the first page *cough*??? => no need for supercid! only temp-root itself & then rumrunner (with active internet connection). :good: ... ((and achieving temp-root is usually done prior to trying to get supercid))
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tj13:
You don't need to change the CID to get temp root. Just do a factory reset prior to using option 6 (temp root)on the menu. The link for the temp root package is on the 1st page of this chain. When you have temp root, your phone will appear to hang when it boots up. When you are done with temp root, just do a factory reset to remove it.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] megaghostgamer:
Yeah I did read it carefully for about 2 hours. I also had troubles with temp root causing phone to freeze. Please don't talk to me like I'm a noob ;) I've ported Roms and unlocked bootloaders and I've done s-off before on my evo shift. This is just a tad different from what I'm used to.

I'll try again later next week, thanks for all the support guys and glad to be here with you all! :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] megaghostgamer:
About to try again today, I think I believe I know what to do now. I read through the thread really carefully and I pretty much have it all down, the only problem I may or may not run into would be the whole flashing hboot considering it's linux. I did see someone previously mention just delete the sudo command part so I assume it should look like this "fastboot erase cache". Trial and error is all it takes to make success. I'll report back later. Thanks all for the help and have a great day! :)

Edit: I got temp-root and everything set up and I've been trying the whole rumrunner. I got it all the way till the package download. Says Fatal. As earlier stated someone had rebooted, disabled AVG and ran as admin and I've done all of those and still come out with the same results. I just cleared data and I'm trying the process again. I'm also aware sometimes it doesn't work on first try and I've tried multiple times.

Thanks! :)

Edit: I had to disable The windows firewall as well. Thank you all for all the help! :)

I've been running CM11 since January with no major issues.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] firebirdude:
Finally able to get mine unlocked and S-OFF. HBoot 1.5. But just rebooting into the stock rom no longer works. I still get the temproot style screen (wallpaper and status bar with no unlock). So I was forced to flash TWRP and load up a ROM. CM10.2 just froze on the splash screen over and over. Viper did the exact same thing. Reloaded CM10.2 and now it boots into the rom, but just pops up "andriod.process.acore has stopped" over and over again and would never see any cell towers. PacRom would actually load the wallpaper and status bar, but said there was no SIM card for the first couple seconds...then recognized it and popped up an alert that the phone must be reset to use...reboot...exact same thing again and again. Tried CM 11.2, but it failed installing through TWRP multiple times (even tried redownloading/recopying). Tried Viper again and now it won't even load the splash screen. Just goes black (but backlit) right after the HTC screen.

So now my phone is completely worthless and it's WELL past bedtime. :(
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
At the risk of asking a stupid question (Yes Virginia, there are stupid questions)... Your sig says your current phone is an HTC EVO LTE and you mentioned hboot 1.5. Do you have a Dinc4g LTE? If you do indeed have an EVO, the ROMs here won't work for your phone...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] firebirdude:
Girlfriend's phone. Verizon Incredible 4G LTE. It ran like isht before I touched it...but now it doesn't work at all. lol

Flashed the stock rooted rom and it's doing the same thing as the rest of the dev ROMs. Freezing on the splash screen. "DROOOID" then just sticks on the little red circle with the two dots forever. CORRECTION: I just left it there for like 10 minutes and it finally came up. But still nto able to connect to any cell service. Any help there? I just want to get it up and running and never touch it again...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dcooterfrog:

didi you wipe data.

i know that after you temp root you must do a factory reset.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] firebirdude:
Dont think I did the very first time i loaded a rom (CM10) . But I did everytime after that. I was wiping system, factory resetting and clearing caches like crazy

I've unlocked my existing phone via the manual process, going to htcdev &c.

This is a new phone, never unlocked it before. Unlimited/DirtyRacun hasn't worked either.

Guess I'm going to have to do it manual again. I hate giving HTC details so very much, so wretched feeding them details I don't want to hand over. Pretty sure this program just automates that, but at least I don't have waste time on their horrible website.

Just a guess, but there is no "su" binary on the phone. I was hoping I didn't have to log in and download anything with Google Play, but I'll try signing into wifi and downloading some kind of su, in case that makes this installer work.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] therreid:
Finally (after a couple of crooked sellers on eBay tried to sell me junk) I got another 4g lte to try this on. I used the temp root part of Matt Mowers script and then the Rumrunner exploit. I had to run Rumrunner 3 times, but it did exactly what it was supposed to do. A bit time consuming with 3 runs of Rumrunner.......but it is rooted and s-off. Nice work on this one!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] stringedonbass:
Cheers!

Same here. mdmower's "temp-root" method worked for me, followed by running Rumrunner's binary. When I tried the SuperCID trick, I was able to verify the file got updated, but after restarting, it kept getting overwritten with the old one that had VZW__001.

Im use this method :

Part 1: Obtain temp-root

Open a command prompt in the directory where you extracted Inc4GUnlockV6-Windows.zip. Ensure USB debugging is enabled on your device and verify the connection with:

Code:

adb devices

You should see something like:

Quote:

List of devices attached

HTXXXXXXXXXX device

Start the restore process with

Code:

adb restore fakebackup.ab

adb shell "while ! ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/com.android.settings/a/file99; do :; done" > NUL

The command prompt will appear to be hung. At this point you can accept the restore prompt on your phone. When the command prompt returns, type:

Code:

adb reboot

Wait at least 60 seconds (seriously, time it) and you phone should be in temp-root mode. There will be only a status bar on the phone, but no unlock-ring.

or another need?
