Yesterday, a signed Gingerbread RUU was leaked for the HTC Incredible 2 by MobileUnderground member Football. xgunther and I over at the AndIRC Incredible 2 chat repacked it and made it root-friendly.
Right now, you have to be one of the lucky few to be set S-OFF and rooted by AlphaRevX and running ClockworkMod recovery in order to flash the pre-rooted ROM. For those who are not that lucky (yet), enjoy the pictures and videos while we all wait for AlphaRevX to release the full unlock for the Incredible 2.
Note: Please note that we recommend against flashing the full signed RUU (i.e. the original un-rooted leak), as it will prevent the root and unlock method by AlphaRevX.

Signed RUU
This is the original leak that we used to cook the ROM above. Do not download it unless you don't care about losing root. Full credit for this RUU goes to football.
The Good: Stock Gingerbread exactly as leaked, flashable on stock unrooted phones.
The Bad: Flashing this will prevent the only known root method from working. We strongly advise that you not to flash it until the Alpharevx unlock method for this phone is released and applied, and you've at least flashed ClockworkMod recovery. If you do proceed with flashing this RUU, it's possible that there will be no upgrade path from this build to stock Gingerbread (unless another official RUU leaks, from which an upgrade path exists - remember, OTAs are sent out as incremental updates from certain versions only). This will also wipe your data. You've been warned.
