Root Unrevoked for Incredible (Recovery reflash tool/Easy root method)

[yojoe600]

where can i get that?

 

[jasonb1985]

does this also unlock the system (make it read/write), or is it just a recovery?

 

[cdodge]

mine is sitting at "obatining super user permission"

rebooting phone now to try again

Im an idiot, found the .htm file with instuctions

 

[kenman345]

since this rewrites my recovery, will i be able to restore the factory recovery later on?

Make sure to use the modified driver. You can get it here.

So this won't root your phone if it wasn't already?

 

[crimton]

ok just used the tool successfully, what can i do with my phone while waiting on roms that i couldn't do before?

 

[akvtiger]

N0, your phone must be rooted first.

[yojoe600]

found it now... my bad i rushed into it lol

 

[Tony N.]

got it to work somewhat painlessly. make sure you guys have bootloader drivers + htc sync uninstalled or killed.

 

[intersys]

Perfection!

I think they working on a easier way to root but this a custom recovery reflash.

 

[Tomoko]

Just did it, took 5 minutes. Nandroiding away as I type.

Just download the tool. Everything went smooth.

Wow! Can't thank everyone involved enough! Thank you!

I had to uninstall htc sync to get mine to work.

also wathc your screen to allow super user permissions

 

[kkacatin]

So so easy! I love it!

You can make a nandroid backup. Which will backup everything on your phone. Settings, apps, data, literally everything. That way when you do flash a rom if something gets messed up you can always reflash it back to how it is now. Its a HUGE step twords where we want to be and means if a rom were released right this moment, you'd be able to flash it and go back to how it is now if needed.

I suggest anyone that is going to try out roms from here on out to grab titanium backup and buy a license for it. You'll use it to backup all your apps and settings prior to flashing a new rom. Once you flash a new rom your phone will be cleared of all the apps, data and etc. So once you reflash a new rom you'll just fire up titanium (after you've created backups of everything) and reinstall all your data, apps, etc. This will get you back in the game much faster than trying to download each file one by one in the app store and this way you won't lose your contacts or any game/app data/settings at the same time.

i'm at "waiting for bootloader; make sure driver is installed". I must have missed something?

 

[Tony N.]

you need to follow the instructions on the html file. to have drivers installed for bootloader and make sure you uninstalled htc sync or kill it.

yea apparently htc sync blocks the recovery tool from running through completely (so it seems at least, had to uninstall mine too).

also I did accept the super user permissions on the phone and everything and the modified usb driver did install correctly any one have this issue?
