Ok so I have tried like 3 different methods to root my phone, but I can never finish rooting them, cause I can't get my phone to recognize in the bootloader to my pc, when my phone is turned on, my pc has no problem with it, but when I go to bootloader, my pc doesn't even know the device is plugged in, i looked for it in device manager, nothing. Im tring to use Unrevoked right now to root it.

And you do have adb and fastboot downloaded to your PC with HTC drivers without HTC sync

Well with fastboot enabled, I can't even access the bootloader, and i have tried to install the drivers, i installed HTC Sync, and uninstalled it to get the drivers for it, also tried Android SDK
 
Download and run this program.

Then after everything is complete, open command prompt and plug In phone via usb, then type adb devices. It should show your phone, then in cmd, type in fastboot devices. Phones serial should appear. If you see both, then in cmd, in the directory you have saved the adb and fastboot files, (I saved mine in desktop) type in cmd
"Adb reboot bootloader" if all is well, it should boot into bootloader and give you access to fastboot also. I sat on my pc for 11 hours trying to root my Dinc like 3 days ago. Let me know if it helped.

Well the problem was my phone while in fastboot mode would not be recognized by my PC, like a missing driver or something, so in the end I just bought another phone, I went with the Moto e 2nd gen, idk if I'm going to root that, the primary reason I wanted to root my Droid was the ability to freeze apps from running that I didn't want using up my memory, but Moto E has enough that it never freezes on me.
