Now to figure out how to unlock it and install custom recovery images...

Decided to send a mail to Alpharev to see if they have anything in the pipeline or need anything from the device itself to begin work
heres hoping *fingers crossed*

An now due to forced boredom in the workplace im getting my hands on 3GB worth of Android SDK/Dev kit to fart around with,, where it will go I have no idea, may even try rooting it and sharing the wealth natrually...
where did I put that Android Manual?

Easiest way to Root my HTC Incredible 2/s

Hey Brand new to your site and I love it already. I have been looking around and there are some threads about rooting HTC incredible 2/s, it seems they are a little old. Does it still work properly or are there newer and better ways? Can someone send me a link with some instructions.
Thanks a bunch your guys are awesome!
:good:
Could you get us some more information about your phones situation? Turn your phone off, take the battery out, put it back in and turn your phone on by posting both volume down and power at the same time for about 4 secs
It should say something like "vivo ship s-on" and tell you your hboot version like 1.13.0000 or something.
That will determine what to do next welcome to the community

hello to all. I am a new owner of HTC IncS and i am in the same situation as the topic starter!
My phone has ICS installed - OTA (UK device).
The details are:
VIVO PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.02.0002

In general, i am satisfied with ICS, but i want to root the device to delete some apps i never use.

Since you have the new 2.02 hboot, you need to refer to this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373697
Alternatively, if you're only doing it to delete apps why don't you go to settings -> apps -> select app and disable it? You don't need any root permissions for that

Okay so you have a Verizon droid Incredible 2
I guess by your posts you already know that
Here is a link to the video/tutorial I used to get s-off via revolutionary.
http://theunlockr.com/2011/08/02/ho...android-phone-using-the-revolutionary-method/
The procedure will be the same. Just cross check before doing it to be sure and confident.
By looking at revolutionary your hboot is able to be s-offed without any downgrade.
Good luck buddy
Thank you
THANKS SSOOO much you guys are AWESOME I can't wait to get home. I stayed up to 4:00 a.m. last night trying to get it done! UUUGH, RELIEF!:highfive:

Do I need the SIM in
I have a Straight Talk Sim I'm trying to get to use. I bought an unlocked sim code which unlocked the sim card holder. But the service is still not working? Should I put the SIM in while doing this root?
Does it reboot itself to fastboot? Its a white screen with coloured writing.
Maybe ask the inc2 guys if you can't get an answer here. Or Google

[Q] convert HTC One 4.2.2/Sense5 to Google Edition

now that I have re-experienced the Nexus experience with my new Nexus7/2013 I wanted to "quickly" convert my stock HTC One to Google Edition to have a more similar experience on both my prefered gadgets. but I can't get pass the first pass... I seem to be stuck thanks to HBOOT 1.54 not allowing me to switch to S-OFF, one of the requirements as I read.
So what do I have: stock HTC One 4.2.2 OTA with in bootloader showing me:
*** TAMPERED *** (no clue why it says this, did not try loading/running anything other then Revone and moonshine, without any luck by the way)
*** UNLOCKED *** (I got this via the official HTCDEV-route)

BIG QUESTION:
do I need to wait before there's an easy way to switch to S-OFF with HBOOT-1.54 or do I have other options to turn my HTC One into a Google Edition?
Hello.
Your bootloader is unlocked, so S-OFF or S-ON is not that important (though you cannot downgrade the hboot with S-ON, so you are stuck on 1.54 untill a tool for S-OFF on HBOOT 1.54 is made - im in the same situation by the way).
1. Flash custom recovery (TWRP or CWM)
2. Install a custom rom (im running with this one, based on android 4.3, GE (Google Edition) of Android.
3. Done
EDIT: No, S-OFF is not required, unless you want to flash CUSTOM firmwares or a few other things. Custom rom and custom recovery is doable as long as your bootloader is unlocked.
Kind Regards

This is good if he will only have the GE rom, if he will do a fully convert he need the s-off
Couldnt he flash the stock GE rom as a zip? Why is S-OFF needed? Because it must come as a RUU?
And thank you for the assistance in my earlier thread! :good: Recognized the sig instantly!

He can flash the rom, but if he will convert the phone into a GE also for the OTA of android, he need the s-off

I think if your at 1.54 you can't s-off without some decent work. Have you tried some of the GE ROM's? I've been using the SinLessROM 4.1 GE and its better then stock GE if you ask me. Good luck with whatever path you take.

S-OFF is not avail for 1.54. Not without java-card and and only proof is a YT video - no tools: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF1CxtbPhV4
Thanks all for these clear and quick responses!
I would prefer the full monty: having an OTA updateable Google Edition
but for now a (as little as possible customized) GE-ROM will do fine
Which ROM can I flash, and what's the best way to do so?

He was talking about a GE Rom with OTA...
sorry, im tired..
I did it!
Only choose the wrong ROM, now I have that stupid menubutton (3dots) back at the bottom... Tomorrow I'll flash another ROM. Getting the hang of it now. Only pain is always that reinstalling of Apps and settings
Sent from my HTC One 4.3 GPE using Tapatalk 2
Backup apps and settings with titanium backup. For the 3 dot menu there is an xposed mod for that. Note that installing xposed on the HTC one is different than usually, due to the system partition being protected in some way (changes are lost on reboot).

actually thats better than getting OTA
just download a custom rom like ViperOne or ARHD or InsertCoin and
copy it to your downloads folder
reboot your phone and hold volume down and it will enter the bootloader. go into recovery from here and wipe/factory reset and install the rom you copied to the phone. 10x better than waiting on OTA update
Edit: When rebooting the phone you may have a menu with the choice of booting recovery ..choose that
