ONE incredible has been rooted.

Don't get too excited, they can't seem to repeat it. But check it out

1 root, don't get excited - xda-developers

 

[borgey401]

yes, and I witnessed it all go down. It's not likely to be reproduced right now but they are working on a bunch of stuff. Shadowmite is such a good team. This is a great night for the Android community. AND NO THIS IS NOT ON SOME JAKE DAY BS!

That is great news. If one phone is rooted then it is only a matter of time till a complete root is in effect. It is a step forward, that is all that matters.

Nice! Hopefully this is it

Looks like the babies started to crawl, we just need it to walk

Seems confusing though I only know of the easy ways people post >_<

 

[XXXdc5]

does anyone know why it took so long to root? just curious

 

[krelvinaz]

Because....

 

[miamifin33]

Apparently it took so long because the DInc software was more secure than other phones that were easily rooted? Or at least that is what I have heard.

Can't wait.

The phone is locked down tighter than fort knox. Just gotta find that 1 crack and try and get in.

Because hacking a computer isn't simple.

Yeah, I'm really impressed by these guys that can make that happen. Real talent (wish I had some).

 

[mclarryjr]

I don't check the forums for 12 hours and look what happens. This is great news!!!!!!!

 

[borgey401]

When they did this I was absolutely stunned. I watched the whole process go down when they did and I thought to myself wow these guys are extremely talented. Shadowmite is hands down the BEST hacking team around. I can confidently say that we will have a more simple way of rooting very soon ( I know they have been working at it ALL DAY ) and now it's a lot more then just one phone a bunch of people have root access. With the process right now it's just luck to be honest ( getting adb in recovery ). They were having Me and a bunch of other people who hang in the IRC try to get it working in recovery for days now ( before the Dinc was even rooted ) and it's just straight up luck. We also might have a rooted ROM signed by HTC which would make everything SO MUCH MORE EASY!

That would be REALLY cool.

How could that happen?
