I think you must be referring to this:

Sounds like there is some potential there, but we will have to see if anyone can turn the overflow into something useful.
I just took that update yesterday too...lol
Problem is this news is three days old and nothing new has come of it. I'm skeptical that he ran into a roadblock.

"IF i can learn arm assembly, then this shouldn’t be too hard."
Maybe he's working on that.
Anything new is a small glimmer of hope for me...lol
If hope is what you need then you should join us in irc.
I'm on there...

This is my favorite thread title ever.

Not sure about this 'opportunity' but that update included a recovery update which could have patch a yet unknown/released bug.
I hate to give bad news, but I'm about 99% sure that the exploit is for the Droid Eris. He mentions leaks (there have been 3 leaks for the Eris) and this was first posted by Zifnab on the Eris forum the other day.
This MAY have provide some insight into a possible root method for the incredible, but, personally, I am not optimistic considering all of the time between releases, the newer kernel, etc.
Sorry everyone.
he does seem to be working mainly on the eris but the main reason i posted it was because he says in this thread that it should work on any HTC device that uses fastboot.
while i know squat about the area, i figured it was worth linking to.
This looks interesting and useful, even if the information is for the Eris the post says it would work on all HTC devices with fastboot.
All HTC devices come with fastboot so if this is real its most credible post to hit the forums for the incredible.
1Way
Head over to the XDA Eris section and talk to him about what he's doing.
Just wanted to make sure folks here had heard the latest...look for the last post by a Sprint admin in the "3G Upload Capped?" thread (page 36 of the official Epic 4G forum at Sprint.com).
Sorry, I'd post a link but because I'm considered a noob here still, this site won't let me.

just post the update here with quotes, that way I can see if it's the same one I saw a few days ago and saw in a thread here
Well, Desi (Sprint Admin) first replies on page 35 after a bunch of us are ranting about this issue, saying:
"Wanted to let you know that the fix is still in process and I will update this thread as soon as I have a release date.
Also, I just accidentally deleted several posts (meant to remove only one, but removed it and all it's replies)...so if you have one missing (for no apparent reason), please accept my apology!"
Then after a few folks ask what exactly the issue is and how are they fixing it, Desi replies again on page 36 with:
"I don't have any specifics on the fix...only that it's a software change and will be released asap."
Yeah I know another Froyo 2.2 post. But I found this interesting that the Samsung product page for our phone has it listed with 2.2 coming standard. Maybe a clue that it will come within the next few months.
This is the Fascinate for Verizon network.
Hopeful for 2.2 yes, will it happen, probably not soon. I can wait.
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SCH-I500RKAVZW
there are multiple posts about this same thing....
search for those...
Well that is a step in the right direction. The picture under the little article "Galaxy S with Android 2.2OS" still says 2.1 though, but eh at least they are acknowledging that 2.2 is coming very soon.
Figured i would get flamed for this. But all the rss feeds today are posting. sorry guys, did not read every single 2.2 post from start to finish to realize this was posted.
Anyways. Site is inconsistent. who knows when it will happen. I am not getting my hopes up for it. just thought i would share the already shared news again.
Cheers!

I'm not sure about other people on here, but I appreciate the info. Since this is the first time I have seen it. Also because it is not speculation, it is straight off of the samsung site.
wasn't Flaming you or bagging you, simply saying some other posts here and at www.Fascinateforums.com have more info from Samsung reps...
i don't see 2.2 on that page...it shows 2.1 under specs and near pic?
Looks like the over zealous web programmers have fixed the Fascinate for Verizon to show only 2.1 again. Someone either jumped the gun or is just trying to get peoples hopes up.
Hope they got a good laugh!
Hi, I'm new to this, so bare with me....I traded a phone for an epic 4g. The people at the sprint store told me that the phone was rooted. They tried to download the original software or what not, but it got to closing time, so they said the guy I got the phone from would have to change it back... well I can't get ahold of him now, so I'm kinda screwed I guess? It is running syndicate rom, and I would like to unroot the phone if possible. I really don't know a lot about this, so any advice would be helpfull. II

This video should point you in the right direction it worked for me. Just search the development forum for the downloads and you should be good to go.

I traded a guy for an epic, and after bein at the sprint store for 2 hours, it was time for them to close, so they hooked the phone up to my account and told me to get the guy I got it from to unroot it, but now can't get ahold of him. It is running syndicate rom, and I would like to go back to the original sprint software. I really don't know a lot about this stuff so pleeeeeeease help. Thanks
You need Odin and the stock DI18 image. There is a thread on returning your phone to stock somewhere in the dev forum.
Here's the original one that helped alot of folks.

Please do not make duplicate threads.
hey guys, im new to this website thanks to a good friend of mine (he doesnt have an xda account but he has knowledge of it). I'm basically interested in XDA because i wanted more to do with my phone (EVO4G) and i have heard the best source of help would be XDA. i've had the phone since its release date and havent done much with it since i've gotten it. Now im convinced to "root" it and see how fun it is. i'm having trouble doing anything i've seen on youtube and i dont want to do anything stupid to damage it, but i'd love to know everything on rooting and the likes of it...anyone willing to help a brother out? LOL

You want to start on the unrevoke website,than download the software and hboot drivers,you need them to root your phone,without them it will not work.

Yeah man I'll help you out... Rooted my evo before I even made a phone call... You're going to be amazed at how much better your phone is rooted/customized...
The best advice I can give you is to READ... try the stuff out, if you have issues or questions, like dan330 said, search first cuz more than likely whatever you run into has already been figured out. I've been here a long time so I know what will get you help from the people that know what they are doing.
