Yeah todo I don't think we're in Kansas anymore lol

 

[czm2000]

Is it possible to root the phone but keep the sense ui and stock rom, or do you have to run a custom rom once rooted??? thanks

In most cases, yes.

Many thanks!

I'm all about android but I wouldn't count Microsoft out. They are going to be late to the show though.

Take a look at Windows Phone 7.

At first I didn't like the tile look they gave it but once I so how they work, I think they will have a decent platform and I'm sure business users will keep them in the game.

For me though, Android is where its at.

windows mobile went the apple route...i could say "enough said"
but...it does have potential. its just i like to have TOTAL control over my device. From what MS is saying, WP7 will not give u that ability.
so...glad its been almost two years and android has done nothing but improve. I couldnt care less about winmo.
on that note DROIIIIDDD!! incredible

 

[aleis]

Wooooohooooo!!
Rooted before I got it!
Another sign that this is the phone for me!

Isnt this where Paul was before his vacation like 2 weeks ago? I don't think he's made any progress yet today(his first day back to work).

 

[blink]

Sweet! Looking forward to the "HOW TO ROOT YOUR INCREDIBLE" thread soon, lol. This is really exciting, coming from my early adopted leak updated Eris.

my wife has that phone so I get the best of both worlds

Hey Acidbath hopefully rooting will go smoother for the incredible than for the eris. I know you guys over at xda took a lot of crap while working on root for the eris. Also I posted the extracted rom over the xda to save some people some time from extracting the rom from the ruu.

I was following you guys for a while in the Eris thread. I think you'll like the people here a little better.

 

[aleis]

I still love my Touch pro 2....I am so nostaligic...lol

so i manage about 6 windows mobile phones at my gig...
i never had a touch pro 2 though...my last winmo device was an omnia...i abhor winmo!
but i know your like a rom MAKER so...i could imagine u having a sort of...emotional attachment to it ay?
im not gonna lie, if android wasnt so open 'in theory' and i didnt invest so many months approaching years into it (currently researching developing for it) then i would be all over winmo. the new closed model and everything.
but...alas. I CANT! I JUST CANT!
ok...im done

Yeah...Have been here for awhile and love it here

Just checked my order status with verizon and it now shows:
"Order Status: Your order has been processed. You should receive your order within 2 - 3 business days."

Awesome

Root Reportedly Achieved! Updated 04/26/2010 - xda-developers

Well folks it Looks like we have Root thanks to the Founder of Modaco Pual O'Brien.....


Quote:
"The current Desire root status is that I DO have root access in a method that I believe can be replicated on other devices (I have a retail T-Mo device and i've had no issues), however HTC have implemented some rather sneaky protection methods that prevent writing of data to key partitions (boot, recovery, system etc.) which prevent us from enabling custom ROMs etc.

Aside from hoping an engineering SPL (and a way to flash it!) emerges, I do have a number of approaches I plan to try that I hope will unlock the last piece of the Desire puzzle, so don't give up hope just yet... progress IS being made...."

• 
  For those who dont understand why HTC Desire/Legend effects us Droid Incredible users, essentially the HTC Desire is the essentialy the same phone, just the U.K Version....so it should be rather easy to transfer the same steps over to our Droid Incredible.

Since the have rooted the Desire pretty much to the fullest, that means they will transfer the steps over and then we'll have the Incredible set for root once it's released! That's awesome!! ... Even though I might wait a bit to root mine lol.. Like a few weeks.. But good news on progress!

 

[Dream]

YES! All I really want is wireless teathering!

 

[blink]

Lol, nice find! But its already in the stickied "{ROOT}" thread at the top of the page.
