Im confused, I have a droid incredible 2 and have been following this device as well as my Dinc2. There is no permanent root solution that I can find for either phone. And yet if I visit the android development section of this forum I see custom roms and such. Are there unlocked versions of the Incredible S? Im sorry to sound stupid, I am not new to rooting, I have rooted my T-mobile G2, friends Droid X and Droid 2. But I am really confused as to what is going on.
You need to have the phone set to S-OFF with a XTC-Clips first, then you can Root it and install a custom ROM.

Hi all,
I'm newish on the block when it comes to jailbreaking phones, and I've got a few questions before I jump into the mix and possibly screw my HTC dream up.
1. Does having root access inpose any security holes? In other words, if I jailbreak my phone, will it get hax'd from hackers?
2. My HTC had a RC8 build of android 1.1 before I upgraded it to the optus suppiled OTA update of CupCake (1.5). Is it still possible to downgrade despite this version of android?
3. There's a few custom roms of the Os around and I like the addition features they provide. Do I need to be worried about flashing a us custom rom on a aus (uk?) Handset? Or do custom roms have no actual region setting?
4. What are some good custom versions of android?
Alright, I'll be awaiting a response so I can start jailbreaking my phone. Cheers all!
1. No
2. Yes
3. Dont know about that one, im on US lol
4. CyanogenMod
Good Luck!
Alright, I'm getting ready to take the plunge.
I was looking at CyanogenMod and it looks awesome, is there any simple step-by-step tutorials on how to install it? I've read ways of installing it, but I just want to be sure I install it the correct way and not botch something up.
What version should I use? CyanogenMod v3.6.8 or v3.9.7?

Hey all!
I'm a new poster to the forums, but I've been lurking since 2010 with my Xperia X10 (rooted) as my first phone, moving onto the Acer Liquid MT (rooted, was a pain to do so however) and then to the HTC One.
I recently rooted my One. The issue I have at this moment however, is that now that the OTA for 4.3 including Sense 5 is available, I cannot install it, due to the rooted and unlocked BL on the phone. I do know how to relock the BL using fastboot, but I cannot find the appropriate RUU for the Rogers 4.1 ROM.
There are a few things I'm going to be asking for here, just out of curiousity.
First, does anyone have the Rogers RUU for the HTC One? I went onto the dev site, and unfortunately, there is no RUU file found
However, I did find the CRCs for both Rogers versions.
Secondly, lets say I just flash an International ROM onto my Canadian device, will I still be able to use the carrier I am with (Rogers).
Thirdly, if anyone knows of a Google Play Edition ROM for the One that has functional Zoe features, that'd probably solve all of my current minute post-rooting woes.
Much thanks!

Development sections. They're all right there. And bugs/issues will be in the roms threads.

None will be better than stock with GravityBox.
hello, I've had my HTC velocity for over a year now, i bought it already unlocked, and ever since i had it it's been running android 4.0.3 which I've now become annoyed with. and it doesn't upgrade automatically probably because its unlocked (my conclusion). I've done some digging over the year and realized that to get the upgrade i would have to root it. Problem is i have not the slightest idea of how to go about rooting it. Please help!!!
The vivid was never officially updated past 4.0.3, thats why you're not getting updates. The ROMs you see in the development forum are unofficial builds of newer android versions. Check out Albinoman887's thread for Cyanogenmod 11. Its probably the most stable current ROM we have, and it's what i've been running for quite some time.
In order to install such a ROM on your device (if you desire) you don't have to be rooted... but you will need to unlock your bootloader to allow you to flash custom ROMs. HTC makes that pretty easy, and you can refer to their website for instructions (htcdev.com/bootloader). You'll have to create an account with HTC but that's no more difficult than registering an XDA account.
