Anyone working on rooting Droid Incredible 2?

[nerdslogic]

has anyone tried the Gingerbreak APK? It says it "MIGHT" work on some Froyo's and Honeycombs.....might be worth a shot.

I take it Superoneclick and Z4 aren't working?

Here is link to Gingerbreak APK thread on XDA

Hi Eric!

What's up sexy

I'm kidding

*wink* ;-)

 

[nerdslogic]

What are the potential risks of trying to root via Superoneclick, Gingerbreak, or Z4 and it not working?

 

[darinr80]

I just don't want to be the first. The biggest risk is creating a brick if it's never been done.

But as long as you can get into recovery you can SBF right? Problem is I just Google'd Droid Incredible 2 SBF and got zip

Like someone else said, HTC is ruu NOT SBF.

Didn't htc announce that they were unlocking the bootloaders on all their phones?

Their press release was a little vague. Really they said that they would no longer release locked phone.... they said nothing about those of us that already have the phones. A bunch of people have contacted HTC about this and have gotten vague responses.... basically we don't know if, when, or how they plan to unlock phones that have already been released.

No. Ruu is done via pc, like sbf is done to Motorola handsets.

Root your Droid | HTC Droid Incredible 2

What do you guys think about this? Is this a viable method for permanent rooting of the Incredible 2?

If this was a working method then the phone would have been cracked on release day. The unrevoked method was patched with the newest batch of HTC phones, so in short no, this won't work.
