Ok I took the plunge and tried the official 2.1 and now I want to root however I am having all kinds of problems. When using fresh kitchen I get:
Asroot push failed: * daemon not running. starting it now *
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
error: cannot connect to daemon
When using the command prompt and entering adb shell I get:
* Daemon not running. Starting it now*
ADB server didn't ACK
*failed to start daemon
error: cannot connect to daemon
Checked netstat and nothing is running on 5037
I tried flashing the official 1.5 ruu with no luck either....
Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks
any thoughts or suggestions.
If you ran the signed sprint one, you can't root. You didn't follow directions.
tell us which file you ran and maybe we can decide if this is even worth pursuing.
..... hummm did not see that in the dev forum. Can I roll back to 1.5 and root from there. I did use the official signed update :-/
Nope.
You're stuck until either someone roots 2.1 or you get another phone.

you didnt see in the forum that you cant reroot 2.1? or roll back to 1.5? i call bs, its all over this place.
You can't root the old way because it patched asroot2... You can't use the 1.5 RUU because the hboot doesn't take kindly to being downgraded... so, you're screwed until we root that.

........well I don't exactly read all the theads. I am in the dev forum just looking to see if the roms I use have been updated, so unfortunately I did not see it. Looks like I will have to sit and wait.

Thanks for the info
I like to run head first into things....I don't learn lessons.
I'm new to Android. I had a Pre and was big into webOS for a while...well now I have a Hero. Saw the 2.1 leak and though "hey, I'll just grab that there RUU file...its got to be easy to root!" Why am I so awesome?!
This post is sarcastic but I assure you, I am this stupid. I hope someone roots this soon. I'm new to Android and I'm getting nowhere trying to figure it out on my own.
I would just wait for the EVO but I don't get my upgrade until September so its not really worth shucking out the bucks for a new one on 6/4...it'd be nice to have tethering and Skype and of-the-such on this here Hero.

What are the odds you can do what they do with the droid?

I know there was no 2.0.1 for hero and that this is a droid rom but I am taking a shot in the dark.

Not the best idea to start shoving things into your phone if you have no idea what they are doing...especially if they are made for other devices.
On second thought, it might help justify a new Evo purchase if you brick your Hero.

So why is the leak rooted but the final was not? Aren't they the same?
If you had run the RUU from the leak you would be in the same boat.
It's easy to KEEP Root and install new update zip. ROOTING a phone with the RUU is a different matter.

So what droid does, is down grade the phone to a previous OS version. I am sure they are doing something special to get it to go back. They must have figured out how to sign the file or something.
To do this we would have to modify RUU to Load a 1.5 OS/Kernel on a 1.47(?) hboot. But also to do this, we have to be able to sign the files with a release key.
The whole reason that the 1.56 RUU doesn't work anymore is because of the HBoot version > than what it is trying to load.
I guess its POSSIBLE to get the 2.1 RUU to load a 1.5 OS, but I don't think we are able to sign the files like HTC does and the RUU will fail without that.

Neither the leak or the official was rooted. The files where extracted and root was patched, busy box was installed by a dev here.
There may have been a leak several weeks ago that still had root because ti was a test rom.
The WILL not include root in an official build...that is one reason why this community even exists.
There is an international beta of Skype for Android and Verizon has an app. I'm pretty sure there should be a way to make the app think you're using a Verizon phone so the app'll work. Same goes for the FiOS apps. Again I'm new to Android and haven't messed too much with the platform. I need to learn a bit more before I can really say this with confidence.

On Behalf almost all of the Incredible users I say THANK YOU!
I am happy to have this right now as it appears I need to nab the OTA and reroot to avoid nag msg every 15 mins. I am sad that it was forced out by someone leaking info and files. I guess use it why we can before its patched in a week or 2.
Thank you VERY much for all the hard work placed in this and all of UnrEVOked's projects. It is VERY appreciated by many.
Im stuck on it asking for su support/permission.
great job. im glad to see this hit before i get my incredible. i didnt want to deal with that stupid SDcard timing bs

Thank You unrevoked. I am truely sorry that any of you who work so hard to bring all that you do to so many for free have to deal with some of the things I read on these forums.
I read the forums mostly these days but I have been around many years and involved in many things over this time. Some things remain the same! There are always some who pride themselves on ruining things for others. I guess this is just the way it goes.
The only thing I think I'd like to say to you all is there are many, myself included that do appricate you all and enjoy the fun you bring to so many. Chins up cause there are alot more of us than there are of the few.
in closing.. thank you for ALL you do for me and everyone else

just let it run through, it will do everything on its own and you will end up at the recovery screen when it is done, and the tool on your desktop will say done.

you made sure that usb debugging is enabled? settings>applications>developement
if so, power off device hold vol down then press the power button, it will detect the phone and install drivers. once drivers are installed, reboot phone then try the tool.

it shouldn't take very long, if it shows up as android 1.0 you need to have windows install the drivers, it should do it automatically but you may have to point it to the right ones.

I had the same problem, I think Chrome was caching it for me. Once I opened firefox and downloaded it was fine.
Yep, I broked it.
So, wanna hear a fun story?
I got a free Hero, and tried to root it. First thing I tried was z4root. It failed. Then I tried RegawMod. Fail. Perhaps it didn't help that I had the latest stock version of the Hero, 2.32.651.x
So, then, me being a wise guy, decided that I'd just try doing it myself through ADB. I tried to follow CyanogenMod adb rooting instructions HERE. I kept getting stuck at step 5:
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It kept saying something about how it couldn't chmod "/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin" because it wasn't a directory. Well, duh, this I know...but I couldn't figure out how to make adb understand that.
Well of course, because I couldn't chmod rageagainstthecage, I couldn't move on to the next step, actually running ratc:
/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, this is where the fun really begins. I rebooted the Hero, just to see if that would help, and then I was going to try again. Trouble is, the phone wouldn't boot. Kept getting stuck on an endless boot on the HTC screen. So, I went into clockworkmod, wiped everything (except boot), and then restored the nandroid backup I had made before I started this whole process. Still no dice. Still stuck at an endless HTC boot screen. I tried a hard reset on the fastboot menu just for ****s and giggles...but still nothing doing. I also tried running the RUU app on my computer to install an older version of the stock ROM, but RUU would not recognize my device (even though HTC sync and ALL of the drivers are installed, and I had it mounted to the computer in clockworkmod).
So...I guess my question is - does anyone have any clue how to fix this? I still want to root the damn thing, but right now I'd be happy just to get the stock rom back up and running. I know if I could find a stock ROM I could probably flash it through clockworkmod...alas, the only one I found turned out to be a corrupt zip file.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

PLEASE DISREGARD this thread. I'm an idiot...apparently the damn thing was rooted before I got it...which explains why my attempts to root it weren't working. Flashed CM7 in clockworkmod and it booted up with no problems.

Yeah, that's what bierce22 was saying - if you already had clockworkmod, you were already rooted. But it was a good learning experience for you, right?

My story is similar. Boot into hboot stay in fastboot mode and DO NOT VOL DOWN. once youve booted into hboot, plug the hero In and get the ruu started up. Once you've started the ruu, if you get the connection error message, click the action button (trackball) on 'fastboot usb mode' and for some reason, the ruu seemed to connect to it then. Hope it works out for ya.

Also, when rooting with z4, do a temporary first then after a successful temporary root, hit the permanent button. That's done the trick for me in countless seemingly hopeless situations.

BlackRose
HTC Incredible S custom bootloader
Hi Guys,
From many days I was thinking of changing bootloader to BlackRose.
I wanted to install ARHD .
My Device setup before coming to BlackRose was
Revolutinary-S-OFF • HBOOT-6.13.1002 • RADIO-18.00.11_M
To install BlackRose you need to follow instruction given thread [HBOOT][S-OFF] BlackRose [2013.02.03] by dla5244
I will give some Noob Guidelines while doing this entire process.
Downloads
1.CM7 ROM
2.BlackRose_IS_130203.zip from dla5244 thread

My PC Set Up and Info:
1.Android SDK and JDK installed -For adb and Fastboot (Explain down below)
2.HTC Synch -Installed and then Uninstalled keeping driver intact
3.Windows 7 (32 /64bit)
Click to expand...

STEPS:
0.You need to be Revolutinary-S-OFF with HBOOT-6.13.1002
1.Download both CM7 rom as well as BlackRose_IS_130203.zip
2.Flash CM7 from recovery (before this make nandroid backup of daily driver rom)
The reason of using CM7 for changing bootloader is I have tested it succesfully.
Also some member have face difficulty(they have become s-ON again) installing blackrose with roms with andorid 4.X.X versions
like CM 10 or higher.We dont want to take risk So downloading 88 MB CM7 and using it for while wont hurt more than bricked deivice
3.Once you have installed CM7 successfully.Enable USB debuging from Developer tools.
4.Connect usb cable to device.
Step 5 is extra precaution step just to insure that your usb cable,adb.exe,htc device driver are working well.
for Advance user who already know about adb and fastboot can skip this step
5.Browse to the folder where your adb.exe is placed and run below commnd.
command
Code:
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
HT15CTD01349 device
Now we are sure that our USB cable ,Device,Windows PC setup is ready we can proceed in installing blackrose
6.Unzip the BlackRose_IS_130203.zip (Check md5Sum) anywhere in your PC.
Unziped folder contains BlackRose_IS.exe and some supporting files which we shall not touch
7.Run BlackRose_IS.exe and Watch the black screen of command prompt.
In few Seconds you will have get message on command prompt that BlackRose Installed Succesfully
BEST OF LUCK and HIT Thanks If I helped You

Well I l give details answer after sometime but at this moment I can tell you that blackrose had some additional feature that existing hboot is not having. I switched to blackrose just to test ARHD ROMs which uses those additional functions of blackrose while flashing..

Hi all,
I searched the forums and I'm not finding any information pertaining to my situation (or I'm getting bogged down and skipping over things that would pertain to my situation). I do apologize, but I've been searching for a few hours now and I can't figure this out.
I just rooted my phone this evening. I was following the directions on the cyanogenmod website and things got confusing when it started talking about Clockworkmod and TWRP. Installed clockwork and rebooted into recovery and couldn't figure out how to flash. So I started looking at youtube vids and I saw people using TWRP. So I downloaded it from the play store and that's when things took a turn for the worse.
I opened up the app, I went to Install TWRP, picked my g2vzw and started Install Recovery. The app started downloading the open recovery file and then I got a popup saying "WARNING Ensure the partition listed below is the correct one for your device...etc. and at the bottom it had "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery". I didn't know how to verify and I figured it was right (my idiot mistake), so I hit yes.
After I did that, I looked at clockwork again and saw an option to Install ROM from SD Card. When I hit that, I saw all the directories on my phone, so I figured I could dump the cyanogenmod zip file onto my phone via Android File Transfer and go back into Clockwork and flash the file.
So when I did that the phone rebooted and I got the white text at the top of my screen with Secure Booting Error and then the phone shuts off and I have to press and hold the power button a good while until the phone boots back up.
So is happening as a result of what I did using TWRP? Is there anything I can do to fix this? I would really like to experience different ROMs. I hope all is not lost.
Like I said, I'm using a Mac and I haven't used Terminal in a while. The only reason I was able to root was because the root folder I downloaded had an executable for Terminal that did everything for me.
Thanks in advance for your help!
i did the same i attempted to use ez unlock to unlock bootloader and just twrp manager to flash twrp. after trying to reboot i get no text no logo just a black screen and when holding the buttons it vibrates with an occasional red light can turn on and off just a black screen though shows in pc as bulk drive....on windows.....please help i only had the thing for a couple hrs.

Thanks! I tried the KDZ method last night and it didn't work. I'm performing the TOT method as I type (waiting for the ROM to finish downloading). I'll let you know what happens.

So I was using VMware and it stalled out during step 3 of the thread you linked. So frustrationg, I've been at this all day to end up getting no where. Now I have to get bootcamp installed and retry this whole thing. So much time to do something so little. Ugh.

Yes, it's a virtual machine that allows me to use Windows on my Mac's desktop without having to partition my hard drive and use Boot Camp.

Ahhh, yes. Interesting. I'm assuming it'll work. Why not? But if you keep getting that same problem, try a Windows desktop.

It worked!!! You are the man!!! Now that I have the phone back to normal and Windows up and running, I would very much like to root and install cyanogenmod the Right way, especially the boot loader part, having to do with the loki master (that I didn't do the first time around), would happen to know a good thread that will help me?
Again, thank you so much. I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to fix this. The TOT method was awesome.

Ya, bro, this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51826092
The OP has a link for ioroot25 (which is the best way to root) and the freedom tool installs twrp. The steps are fairly straightforward but if you have questions, let me know! These are both for kitkat (so if you haven't, update) and you don't even have to worry about the bootloader. Updating to kk also erases some steps if you go the cm route. Also, do not use the "official" cm. It uses 4.2.2 base (crappy builds). Use JackpotCalvin's CM11, from what I've read it's top-notch.
Make sure you have ALL drivers for the phone installed before you start (including the adb drivers and debugging).
Glad you got it fixed, like I said, don't hesitate to ask if you have any doubts (easier to solve of you haven't done anything)!
As far as drivers, since I had to install them so that I could go back to stock, I should be good right?
ioroot25 is great, because it comes with "ioroot.tool" which is one click root for Macs.

I guess I am already confused by the post. I know how to do the root. I can just run ioroot25, but then do I do the Recovery steps? And which link am I clicking the "One Click custom recovery TWRP for 12b ota. If your on 11a, do OTA first. Must have root also." or the "Then flash this in recovery if you wants TWRP 2.7: Thanks MindRocket"?

So I ran ioroot25 on Windows. Do I skip the "Recovery Section" and go straight to the "KITKAT 24A OTA FREEDOM" section? Sorry, I just want to be Really sure of what I'm doing this time, last time I went into this on my own thinking I knew what I was doing and we all know how that ended up.
Thanks!

Root it with ioroot25, find the proper Autorec for vs980, install the app on your phone and run it to install recovery.

Correct! Go to 24a ota freedom section. I've used it multiple times and never had an issue. It has the bat extension like ioroot25, just click and follow directions.
Autorec is another option (as mentioned) but I know nothing about it. As always, your choice!

So I hope I did this right. I started up the KitKat Freedom and pressed enter. And this what the command line said:
* server not running *
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
Then my phone was automatically disconnected and then reconnected. Is that it? I figured the process would be longer.

Nevermind, it worked! I don't know what happened, maybe my USB Cable was loose or I didn't wait long enough, but I ran the program and waited and everything worked. I booted into recovery and Teamwin popped up (man we're really making progress!). So now I gotta get cyanogenmod. Should I just do a search for JackpotCalvin's, and once I find it how do I flash it?

Step 5 makes me nervous (seems like we've come so far, I hate to screw up now), and he saying this is off of Jelly Bean. I thought CM11 was based off of KitKat.
Once again, never mind I already did step 5 by doing KitKat Freedom. Looks like all I really have to do is download Jackpot's build, transfer it to my phone and install using TWRP.
Just backed up everything. I'll let you know how it works out!

My friend. Everything worked perfectly. I have Jackpot's build running and I got the Google Apps installed and running. Thank you so much for your help. That was quite an experience, I'm glad I had you leading every step of the way.
