Root Rooting Problem

[nlantieri]

When I try to root my incredible with unrevoked it stops at waiting to root...(safe to restart if this doesnt work) I have tried it multiple times and it gets stuck here everytime? Does anyone know how to fix this

Did you install all of the the HBOOT drivers? (public:windows_hboot_driver_install [RootWiki])
Have you turned USB debugging on? (Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development)

What order did you do things in?

How To: Root the HTC Incredible (Unrevoked Method) Updated 09.20.10! | TheUnlockr
Here's a video and walkthrough. Not sure what steps you took, so use these.

I installed the hboot drivers then ran unrevoked. Would it matter if I installed the 2.2.1 ota?

I don't know for sure, but there were some folks over at XDA who were having problems rooting after installing the recent update. I can't remember if there was a fix or not, I'll try to find out.

Yeah. Looks like your out of luck for the time being:

A fix will probably come out pretty soon, though.

Same problem as original poster!
New user here. Just updated the other day (slacker and v-cast apps). I can't stand the crap they force on us!
I tried to root my phone after that update and I got the same message as the original post.. 'waiting to root...(safe to restart if this doesnt work)'.
It never passes that screen. left it running for an hour, then tried overnight. still no progress. Looks like the unrevoked got stuck?

I'm a chemist not a computer guy! Please let me know if there is a way around this.

I installed HBOOT drivers and got the drivers to show in the device manager screen.

Turned on debug and set phone to charge when attached to comp.

ran unrevoked and phone booted 2 times. then gets stuck at the point mentioned above.

the unrevoked doesn't work with the new update? If someone knows what to do please let us know.

Thanks in advance.

How to move things to card? clockworkmod how to? can anyone provide links on these?

Unrevoked3 doesn't work with the new update. The links I posted in my last post will probably have info in them before this one would.

I know you can flash clockworkmod to your phone using an app called "RomManager", but I'm not sure if that requires root or not. It probably does. Aside from that, I don't know if there are any painfree ways to install it (that don't give/require root)

An app called "Astro File Manager" will let you copy files from you phone to your SD Card without plugging it into your computer. On that note, you can just plug your phone into your computer and "mount as disk drive".

Thanks! I'll keep watching for a new fix on your links and on this site.
I feel like I'm renting the phone and not the owner since google and verizon control what I can and can't do.
I paid for this thing in full... I should be able to remove the stuff I don't want.

I have the same issue... trying to root my phone for the first time and getting:

waiting to root...(safe to restart if this doesnt work)

What's the deal? Any solutions?

Just picked up new dinc for my daughter. Same hang spot. I did allow an update but phone said it was still a 2.2 not 2.2.1

 

[dgshaffer]

Same thing here. It updated last week and I'm getting stuck at the same point.

You still not be able to root any new phones or any that accepted the recent update until further notice.
