It's already BEEN reported, and fixed I think. That's how we know the hole exists. The problem is that there are still tons of people out there running the exploitable kernel.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anubis_dragoon:
You're not the only one. I can understand why they haven't released the exploit , but people are always going to abuse things like this. Sooner or later this exploit will be found by someone else and that person may or may not use this exploit just for the DI.

That being said, I really want to root my DI.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chumba8:
I agree

I say if there is a way to root root it so what if there could be a way to use it for bad reasons if it works it works then we tell HTC and have them fix it after we figure root out
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1k3-:
Well heck guys, root away!

No one is stopping you.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavensblade23:
I agree with the people that say the exploit should be used, but then again I'm not agreeing out of simple greed.

I'm agreeing because not releasing it is essentially security through obscurity which is a shaky philosophy at best. The idea that the hole isn't or won't be exploited unless it's released as a DI root is unproven.

But hey, I'm not a dev, maybe they understand the implications better than I do. If they don't want to release it then we'll have to find another method.

don't we have a signed ROM now that was just posted?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcsdm:
We need a signed test ROM that already has root included. That is how the Eris was rooted, and that is the easiest way for us to have root because it doesn't require any exploits.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Munnin:
I agree... But the thing I doubt people realize is you could use the exploit, and lets say it doesn't get abused (yeeeeaaaah...). Once the exploit is fixed then only a few phone will have been rooted leaving others S.O.L... I could be wrong, but it does pass the logic test... but then sometimes - when drunk - I like to believe you can divide by 0, or sqrt 0... ;)

Is this possible?

Can we pull a switch? Can we have two Micro SD Cards, both only containing the Update, both formatted, named (sd card, and zip) the same and pull a switcheroo? Start the flash with a normal, vanilla rom... wait for it to do all its checks, and right after the last check is done, before the rom gets written, somehow switch out the cards to one containing a payload?

I see it happening two ways:

1) The phone gets bricked. Though I could see going to a VZW store and saying that you lost battery power while resetting phone to factory and that's what happened

2) Since it's in the middle of a flash, the bootloader may be written in a way where it senses that something has happened, and waits for the card to show back up again to continue the flash (writing) process.

3) Number 2) occurs, but bootloader is smart enough to re-do all the checks before continuing with the flash.

Any smart devs out there know the answer?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-dub25:
A test Rom would be the easiest way to get root we have a RUU Rom that is dated before the OTA and it is believe that ,that update came out to patch exploits we also have a downgraded hboot that may help so don't worry we will get it.

The nexus-1 is "un-lockable"..... Simply setup ADB, boot into fastboot and type 'fastboot oem unlock' and you are prompted to un-lock bootloader, which gives you easy access to root....... Incredible does not have this feature, Evo doesn't either.... Bout all I can add, Evo was rooted rather fast tho..... I always get confused with how some are locked down more then others..... Then again, that maybe carrier related, not sure i'm sold its not yet......

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giantcrazy:
As much as it pains me to say it, I agree with those who say propagating a new Linux root exploit into the wild would be unethical and a bad idea. There's no way to keep a thing like that under wraps. Release the root exploit, and malicious types of all platforms will be futzing around and looking for ways to backdoor other systems.

In the meanwhile, even if you simultaneously notified Linux vendors and the security community of the hole, for the time it takes to identify, determine all the affected systems, develop a patch, regression test, you'd have a gaping hole in all that infrastructure. Considering it can take months to release a patch, not a good idea.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hero_Over:
im very sorry to be the asshole but...... this is the way that i plan on achieving root. Im going to cancel my verizon wireless account within my 30 days because the 3g in my area was crap. Then im going to walk in to best buy and buy an evo 4g with a new sprint contract (for the same price as i get back for my incredible). Then I am going to go home and hop on xda and follow a simple root tutorial and flash a froyo rom. And then im gunna start working on creating custom features for the os that couldnt be done on a non rooted incredible. again im sorry if im being an asshole but... all im saying is that if u are within 30 days of contract with verizon you can get a better phone on a cheaper contract with sprint and haz root too

Why is this worth posting here? Eventually Incredible will get root, just like every other Android phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leebsammy:
eris took forever, root will come.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deekjx:
Generally speaking, after notifying the Linux Kernel devs and waiting for a security update, you should be able to release a root exploit for our phone. The security update is going to notify the public about the failure without giving the exact details. I don't think you have to wait for everyone to patch their machines before you release the exploit. Plus at that point, you can release it just amongst our community to minimize its immediate impact for other malicious behavior.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hero_Over:
im paying 130$ on verizon and only have 5000 messages.

i get unlimited everything on sprint for 110$ and when 4g is available i will have it. and battery drain is becuase they have 4g on. i dont have 4g in my area so i will always have it off. oh and btw it has 100mah capacity over the incredible and a power saving lcd instead of amoled. yeah that means i can see my phone in the light!!! so i save money and get a better phone. in honesty i posted that so some people who are dissapointed with either the incredible or lack of root can realize there is other options if u just signed up for verizon.

and i will be buying an extended battery when they come out. theyll prolly have a 1900mah that will fin in the regular backing

biggest plus about the move is this. i wont have to be on a verizon android thread anymore. people with verizon tend to be dicks cus they pay too much and sprints dev community seems to have been very nice in comparison. plus there is actual developing going on in which i plan to join in on

edit: and froyo will definately help battery a ton. which evo users can use now

internal storage

I am not sure if this helps anyone but after loking at the thoughts for mounting the internal storage of the DINC, I thought that this may or may not help.

I have a Pioneer CD Deck in my car, and when I either connected my phone to the USB port or through the built in blutooth feature, my car started playing the sounds that are associated with the Navigation features of the phone. I am not sure as to whether or not the cd deck was accessing the internal storage or just something that had been left on the SD card but thought I would post anything that might be useful.

Sorry if this was a waste of time..

First off, USB debugging mode allows you to customize your phone while connected to your computer via the USB cord.

Second, this thread is not meant for these kind of questions, please try not to post basic technical questions in the root thread. The mods are trying to keep these focused on the task at hand. Also, you can find the answer to this question very easily with a quick google search.

Hello guys ,

I bought new HTC HD2 today. I am using symbian all my life and switched to Windows mobile now . I am slowly trying to adopt to it.

I dont understand terms like "Rom" , " Custom Roms" , "Rom update" , .I see them every where ...

Can a hard core WM user help me understand what these terms mean .

Thanks

Davie
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
First of all a ROM is what the phone runs ie, WM (windows mobile 6.5, 6.5.x)

custom ROM is something a chef on here or other various sites, has taken the ROM and made it better the way they like it and made it available for everyone else to use,

ROM updates are usually put out by the networks for stock ROM's i.e. what came on the phone first, have a read in the ROM section thread to get more knowledge.

and this is a very helpful thread :)

[HD2 General] conantroutman:
Like you I came from a symbian device to an HD2 (about 6 months ago) and the only way to get to grips with it is just by reading through the forums endlessly, the best place to start is the wiki and the sticky threads in the various forums. It might be hard to find what your looking for sometimes but trust me anything you'll ever need to know is on here somewhere.

I think you'll be glad you made the switch.........

Happy reading :D
