Seriously? Are you illiterate?
patience is a virtue.
It's a well known fact that those Eris users with hboot 1.49 currently cannot root. It may take a long time to root because the devs work on this stuff in their spare time, not to mention most are now working on roms because the previous hboot versions have been rooted. Be patient, it could take quite a while. I'm currently running 2.1 leak v3 so I cannot root. It's not that bad.

When it comes it will be the top news in all eris forums and should be hard to miss.

ok
The only big issues I still have with my 2.1v3 if the singnal bug and my pars not showing correct... So I'm in no rush. But I'm sure the Devs are working on a fix seeing as most replacements and all leaks are a new hboot.
It just takes time.
hopefully devs will work on it during the summer

http://www.rimweb.in/forums/topic/25414-htc-incredible-root-status/ could this help at all?
So in all my flashing, since I got this phone two days go, I tried to get BAMF ICS build to work and it was a no go for me.
But my question is in all of it I upgraded it to like version 3.xx or something like that....it wont let me downgrade saying 'main version is older'
I have a 2.3 build on now and its running....but I thought I needed to back it back down to work best.....but how do you get it to force an older PG98IMG on?
I've tried the nifty little automated tool
Flashing manually
Flashing via the comp
Nothing seems to push it on
Thoughts?

Check the development forum. In the stickies section under HTC misc tool. Or flash a Rom that resets the mainver. Most of them do now.

It will make the change in hboot, allowing earlier versions to flash.

I really need to be brought up to speed on HTC development. I'm coming from a Motorola Droid x2 and I thought development would be the same but its totally different. I don't even know what the hell s-on or s-off means. I'm going to be receiving 2 new rezounds for my wife and I and I'm going to need to get them rooted, updated to ics, and new roms flashed on them. My Droids bootloader was locked down so our devs just worked around the kernel. Anyone know of any tutorials or anything that can help me out and bring me up to speed on the lingo and what (if anything) I should not do with these phones? Also, looks like they are being shipped to me running 2.3.4 which needs to go! Thanks!

He is right but this one isn't stickied and should be. Good place to start but just search before asking questions as you are most likely not the first to have that problem.

Here is an even better write up, I don't read through the stickies to often.

Story, one more question from the FNG, is there really that much of a benefit to wait for the official ics to be released? I'm getting the new phones today or tomorrow and I'm somewhat impatient. I can't stand bloatware. Sorry if I'm asking obvious questions but I know once I root and install ics firmware I can't go back if there is a release. Thanks.

You can go back if you're S-OFF with a RUU.
For the time being, you can flash a few different ICS leaks which are close to the official OTA but that's the beauty of modding our phones, you can even stay on Gingerbread and flash ICS ROMs and run fine with a patch as well.
Having problems with s-off. Using controlbear but everytime I attempt to begin program it says connect device and install drivers. Thi is very frustrating. Would like to actually get to the wire trick

Sure you have installed the HTC Sync drivers, and gone through the whole HTC Dev Unlock process properly? And make sure the option for USB debugging is on in the ROMs settings, plus Fast Boot is off. Check basic cabling and whatnot first too of course. Try a clean run on another PC if all else fails.
Thanks for the help!

Ya I came from Motorola myself. They lost a 10 year loyal customer with their bs. I find HTC and Samsung are the most open for developers.

Okay, so, I pretty much have everything set up perfect except does anyone know how to change boot animation? Running clean rom dev edition and when I use rom toolbox to change and install new animation then reboot, it just shows the regular clean rom boot animation so the change isn't sticking obviously. Thanks

Moto is now owned by Google I believe...
Hopefully, Motorola's new devices won't be locked down

Search around. 2 new methods were just released. Worked great for me on 2 DNAs that were on 2.06. Try the original android development forum before asking.

Moonshine and revone methods were both just released within the last two days, so if you give them a try, you're sure to get s-off. Of you're looking to gain root in the process, moonshine will probably be your best bet as revone is just unlocked bootloader and s-off.
Thank you very much

Don't accept the update until you hear from other people what happens. Many times something like that can make you lose root but not always. So be daring if you wish, me no.

HTC (and/or Verizon) have some nerve getting my hopes up like that.
Yeah a few people pointed out it seems fishy because you can get the app in the play store and it works fine before the ota

I have never heard of an S-Off preventing OTAs on any HTC device. I know if you are on a custom ROM, OTAs from Verizon will not be pushed to your phone.

WTH kind of update is that? I mean seriously, an update to a accessibility feature that you can get from the play store if you were even interested in such a thing??? SMH
Maybe they locked the gsm part of the phone has anyone tried a different network after the update?

I was going to test it but I can't afford a new phone at the moment.

Just for sh*ts and giggles, I locked my device back up, performed the RUU, went back to S-On and then took all the updates up to this new update and then tried to Moonshine again...it was successful. I'm back to S-Off, unlocked and 2.07.605. Apparently, Verizon didn't fix the exploit in this update. So unlike them.
I'm stock and downloaded the update. It havent installed it yet. Where do I find it? I can upload it if anyone wants to take a look at it.

I'm rooted and S-Off but on the stock rom still. I'm not going to temp fate and try to download the build OTA from VZW, I'm just hoping they don't try to automatically push it!

Explains the htcdm error I was getting this morning. On a custom Rom. I never plan on taking any Verizon updates again. Last one bricked my phone (2.06) glad I was able to eventually moonshine and get off their horrible software. As far as the sense 5 update coming I could care less. Been running a sense 5 Rom since the release of tranquil. Wouldnt be surprised to see the new one Rom ported over very soon. My bet is we see it before the update.
