(GUIDE) how to root DINC2 2.3.3

[estafusisx]

I have redownloaded the revolutionary program quite a few times and it never changes. I have tried the 30 mins but it hasn't changed in anyway.

Just making sure you have a Droid incredible 2 with android version 2.3.3 (check about phone in settings)

Ummm I'd post your problem on the revolutionary website. I can't really think of anything else.

Using the factory data cable that came with phone? It's been the culprit in a few issues when using other than factory cables...

posted tomorrow using the space time continuum app on my D1...

Sorry for being a couple days late and i'm sure by now you've either gave up or figured it out but i would suggest waiting about 30 mins b4 messing with this process to make sure it just isn't going to work, then just exiting the command window and trying again. If it still doesn't work i would re-download the revolutionary.exe and see if that helps.

You need to uninstall HTC sync. I had the same issue because i forgot too.

I haven't heard of that causing any problems. If it works it'll sure be good to know lol

So I finally decided to take the plunge.
Forgot that my phone is 2.3.4 and this method will not work.

Just so others know don't try this on a 2.3.4 yet.

Are you talking about after running revolutionary? Did it install recovery successfully? If not, just run revolutionary again. It will skip s-off and ask you if you want to flash recovery. I never had any issues, just make sure your connected to the internet on your pc. I've done to two phones. we can do it manually too, but adb will need to be installed.

I solved my problem by switching my ROM out. I rewiped cache and dalvik then I installed a new one and my laptop recognized it.

Looking for help. I downloaded revolutionary. Got the beta key. I entered the key as requested and it didn't work. What can I do to make the program work.
