Can we use Paul's method?

---

I'm a linux dev but not a android dev so please forgive the ignorance.

Can we take the work Paul has done and use it against the incredible? What do we need for that to work? a recover image? It sounds like he's gotten it to work with the hboot 0.80(not documented yet). I know the incredible is at hboot 0.77.

I dont know if the hboot 0.80 tricks would work for us since we're on a lower version.

Thanks!

We really need pauls help. He doesn't want to help because he's in the UK. And doesn't have access to one. So..someone needs to talk him into it. Lol. We really need his help. Unless you can find out more about his method and help make a custom Rom/recovery for us.

I might be willing to give up mine and ship it to him(wanting it back of course). If he breaks it, he breaks it..its under insurance.

I'm new to the scene so I don't have any relationship with him to ask as a favor that he try it. If someone could work that side of it..maybe we can get him to work on it.

Wow thatd be pretty sweet. Um talk to someone in the root thread. Someone's bound to know someone or head over too www.modaco.com and pm him yourself. I'm very sure if he wasn't responsible he would love to have access to the incredible. Doubt he will say no. Plus sense gives you the option to authenticate your gmail over WiFi.

Used to read the Eris forum religiously and I had an idea... If he agrees why not start a collection to get an incredible? Five hundred bucks is a lot of money, but not I'd there are fifty people contributing which I'm sure we can swing...that's ten bucks each!

There are some trusted members of this community that might be interested in helping?

What do you think?

I'm going to try and hit Paul up on Irc tonight, but I really don't think his method will work.

Why don't you think his method would work? I know that there are some differences between the two, but its a start isn't it?

which irc is he in?

Because he is using a test img that was signed by HTC, that is why you need a gold card, witch as of right now I believe gold cards are disabled for us. But the way it works is with the gold card you can flash any Rom that is made for your device, ie bypassing carrier restrictions. Because the test Rom he is using has been signed with test keys it will allow you to than flash the update that was again signed with test keys. As of right now there is no way for us to use this method. But I am still going to see if I can get more info, from him. And lastly, we have a cdma device and there roms are gsm, that's a great way to brick your phone real fast, if you could find a way to flash it.

I wonder if the right 'donation' would motivate some developers to get to work on the root
