Anyone working on rooting Droid Incredible 2?

[meltdown]

Just wondering if anyone has succeeded in rooting this awesome new phone. The Thunderbolt took very little time and the devices are fairly similar.
I came from the original Droid so I really miss the power I had over MY device. Plus I would really like to get rid of the all the bloatware.

Thanks :blackdroid:

Does a bear make a mess in the woods? Of course someone is working on it. It probably won't be long.

haha.. I hope they can get it done. Mine is an S-ON phone and can only get temproot. It's the same procedure as the Incredible S: Temp root for apps required root access (for s-on IS) - xda-developers

The phone is marvellous out of the box. Why the rush to root it?

For me it would be to remove the bloat ware.

Herring rid of bloatware would be great. This phone is excellentbut has way to much bloat on it. Root it someone!!! Would also be nice to control CPU for battery purposes.

For some reason I think your Inc2 spellchecked "getting" into "herring", lol.

Happened to me yesterday.

WAY too much bloatware on this AWESOME phone! The quicker we can get root to delete it, the better!! I'm about to try the temproot...

I used Bloat Freezer (Donate version of Titanium Backup would work too) and the Incredible S temproot method to freeze all the bloatware. My app drawer is alot lighter now. They stay frozen even after reboots. Just defrost them and they are back. dancedroid

OK, this is such a noob question but I'm new to HTC devices and I'd rather do it right the first time...

To run ADB on the device, do I just have to enable debug mode or do I need to install drivers as well? I'm running on Windows XP... Coming over from having a D1 that was stock seems night and day almost!

Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem at first. I picked HTC sync on the phone.. debugging enabled.. usb drivers installed (came with HTC Sync software)...

Thanks! I saw that option but was afraid it would install something that would be impossible to get rid of!

I'll be trying the temp root again tomorrow, hopefully first thing in the morning. Thanks again!
