can someone try to help me if possible?

i just keep getting stuck on flashing recovery image.

it took me three trys to get past waiting for reboot, so should I just keep trying?

I already did it once and my phone seems to still be working.

EDIT: nevermind, i got it. htc sync. sorry. thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MidnighToker:
Did I just brick?

Was installing su so that I could get rid of CityID. Now I am stuck in eternal reboot. Tried wiping/factory reset, but no luck.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rckeystone:
Sweet!! Joe I can't thank you enough for your patience and great tutorial. That's the most I've ever used the sdk. I just checked my programs and superuser is there so I'm rooted! And city ID is gone!

Just had that damned OTA pop up again. I guess that doesn't get blocked until I put a custom rom on.

Thanks again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Joe92T:
No problem, however sometimes the superuser can be in the app droor and show it as installed, but you dont "actually" have root.. the easiest way to find out for sure is to try and use a root only application or go into terminal emulator and type in "su" and see if it allows you
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rckeystone:
Yes "su" works in terminal plus wifi tether is working so it looks like I'm good.

Thanks again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Joe92T:
enjoy! i think im going to stay on the stock rom for now as its pretty much bug free until a mostly complete and bug free Froyo solution comes out... Also ide suggest flashing the Hydra Overclock-N Kernel... it made a difference in my phone for sure plus the N wifi support is a bonus
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rckeystone:
I'll take a look at that kernel. I'm going to stay stock also since the custom roms are still on the new/beta side. Once they come out with some good stable ones I'll start playing.

Do you us apps2sd on this phone? I use it on my G1 but there it's really needed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Joe92T:
No I don't, I also came from a g1 but switched to verizon for this phone

[Droid Incredible Android Development] MidnighToker:
Can I restore a vanilla nandroid backup from someone and get back up and running? It never gets past the first white boot screen.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rckeystone:
I use the G1 for personal/family and have the Inc for work.

Just installed the Hydra kernel and waiting for the phone to boot.

Glad to see I'm not the only one up this late. Once I got onto this rooting it just woke me up!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rckeystone:
Well it looks like I'm stuck in a boot loop. Will have to try one of the other options for the kernel. Guess sleep waits a bit longer
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Joe92T:
I tried #1 and it worked perfectly fine for me.. Undervolt, overclock with N

Sent from my HTC Incredible using the XDA App
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jmariconda:
so can this be used to gain root on the incredible too?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Joe92T:
Yes

Sent from my HTC Incredible using the XDA App
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jmariconda:
o ok awesome they should really take off the other root process thread :p
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rckeystone:
Thankfully I did a nandroid backup before trying the kernel.

Each of the other kernel options I tried failed to install because the files are corrupt. The file seems to be 2.8mb but each time I download one it always comes in at around 1.2mb. For some reason the links aren't working correctly. I'll try again tomorrow.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SR3TLAW:
Alright I got the black screen with green writing. have the following options

- reboot system now

-applt sdcard:update.zip

-wipe data/factory reset

...etc

what do i do from here?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rcicu:
if unrevoked3 says Done! then select "reboot system now"
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hansmike:
OMFG

I've been dealing with this root crap since the Jake BS and I tried everything with no luck. Countless hours wasted trying to achieve root. I figured my phone was unrootable.

I can't thank unrevoked enough for making this possible for me on the first try.

May the Droid gods watch over you.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SeanRinVA:
Thank you guys! The tool (downloaded last night) took just a few minutes. After weeks of frustration, buying several uSD cards, etc., I now have root. Awesome job. A donation to the EFF will be forthcoming.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Asterdroid:
A noob question for you guys. I was able to root and install custom recovery using the previous method. Would there be any additional benefit to me using the new tool on an already rooted phone?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] killer2239:
I was previously rooted and NAND. I ran the version 3 to update. Halfway through it said communication error with phone please try again later.

At the tiime of failure, My clockwork recovery version on the recovery screen says version 2.0.2.4 but the latest under rom manager says 2.0.2.1 and current is 2.0.2.1, but if you go to all clockworkmod recoveries it has 2.5.0.1 as highest version. However, if i boot back into recovery mode after phone has rebooted from failure message above, it says the version is 2.0.2.1 again. So what is going wrong?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 760hacker:
The unrevoked team is aware of this error and are working on a fix ASAP. This is according to their Twitter post.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hairston:
I love you guys. :)

Big thanks for this!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] killer2239:
Thanks for the info!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] heliotropeUCSD:
Unroot?

Hi guys-

BIG thanks to Unrevoked. You guys are absolutely amazing.

Sorry for being maybe dumb, but I have a question- my phone arrives this morning. I'd like to root it, but I'd also like to be able to restore it to factory settings. Will I be able to make a full NAND-style backup of the factory-spec phone so that i can go back to original state if I need to?

Second question- what changes about using wifi tether under the one click root method?

Thanks for any help.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] reagianicparable:
Anybody have any idea on this? Or is there a way for me to do it manually? I thank everyone for their help.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Asterdroid:
I still don't understand the benefit of doing this if you're already rooted.... BUT, I'm still new to this, so what do I know.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SLOflatlander:
i did all this and i am on a mac and it worked perfectly. thanks so much! now i want to delete some apps like city id and set up adfree, how do i access the phone through my mac(terminal) so i can type in commands when it is in recovery?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] oturn:
A hearty THANK YOU to the Unrevoked team! Your hard work is greatly appreciated!

After attempting the original root method several times, all to no avail, the new tool rooted my Incredible in only minutes!

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit. I simply installed the recommended drivers, and ran the tool as administrator. BAM!

THANK YOU!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] x1208x:
Kernel discussion should be in the kernel thread. Not in the new unrevoked 3 new root/recovery thread.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mr. Spontaneous:
I'm getting the "Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted" error as well. It takes me to the clockwork screen (I've tried twice). Since it's not reporting done, I'm going to try different USB ports on my computer.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrchambo:
Wow! So worth the wait...thanks unrEVOked team! You're the bestest...

JC
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mr. Spontaneous:
Alright. Tried using the USB cable that came with the phone on a different USB port, and it's reporting done! According to the unrevoked wiki, this should give me root.

And it did! SuperUser permissions appears in the applications menu. I downloaded and installed drocap2 from the market and took a screenshot (it asked for permissions, and the SuperUser app registers the granted permissions).

So, if you're getting the error, try different ports/different cables/OSs/Computers!

If that doesn't work, the unrevoked team posted this update to their Twitter account:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] krelvinaz:
Upgraded from previous installation went flawless.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Smabbage:
Thanks for the 3.1 update. All went off without a hitch and got a good chuckle from the "Windows sucks", "Windows really sucks" messages even though I'm rather fond of Windows 7 64bit. :) Granted, I don't have to program for Windows so what do I know? :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] purpleevo:
Tried it, but every time the phone rebooted, 'adb devices' showed the device as offline, so the tool couldnt finish.

but it did get enough to the point to completely wipe the stock recovery loader, so now when I choose 'recovery', in the bootloader, it just returns to the bootloader screen.

I'll try a different USB port, and see what happens...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] slumpey:
Worked perfectly!! Took just a few minutes and was rooted.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] purpleevo:
As everyone has already said.... different USB ports work better. Dont use the one on your monitor :-)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Qbfinest83:
Does anyone have the download they can upload. I tried to download it from the unrevoked.com site but keep getting 404 - Not Found
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Qbfinest83:
Never mind I guess the old page was cached its working now
[Droid Incredible Android Development] intersysx:
Hmmmm - 3.0 version worked perfectly for me

3.1 - I get the Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted message

Win 7 - 64 bit
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mr. Spontaneous:
Is it worth running unrevoked 3.1 if I was successful with u3 just to get the new clockwork mod? I'm not too familiar with what it takes to upgrade the recovery, or if it's even worth upgrading.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rnmedic1839:
YOU GUYS ARE AUSOME! 1 click flash and reboott with the drivers Nice work simple and easy. Thanks To all
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Scblacksunshine:
Holy cow....BIG props to Unrevoked team for this....I gave up with the old method...this is sooooo freaking easy......just loving it,,keep up the good work guys..:D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] killer2239:
I ran 3.1 and it completed successfully, i originally tried 3.0 at release and got the com error. When i go into rom manager, it still says installed and current version is 2.0.2.1, and when i select boot to recovery, it says clockwork mod recovery 2.0.2.1.

When it was at the finished screen to reboot the phone after completing 3.1 reflash, it did say clockwork mod recovery 2.5.0.1 , but now when i boot back into recovery mode its saying 2.0.2.1
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mr_rax:
Not working :(

Same thing here. Tried all USB ports and I get two "Windows sucks" messages (one for 5 and one for 3 seconds) and then the Communications with Phone error.

I do get the ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1 menu when I go into recovery mode, but no root, which is what I really wanted.

Win 7 - 64 bit.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shadowmite:
Those who are getting comm errors, please ensure you are using our driver, not one installed via htc sync or other. If in doubt, remove the old one in device manager (by connecting the phone in recovery, hboot, and the os) and then reinstall pointing to ours (look at the html file in the release package).

The few that were able to run the old one, but are failing now, please consider trying this as well, but some other steps, reboot computer, try a different usb port (typically forces windows to reload drivers) etc. I'm sorry about the windows bugs, it really is nearly flawless on mac/linux. Windows just adds complexities with the driver layer and the fact other running apps can interrupt. we will try to look more into this tonight. In the meantime, as a last ditch attempt, consider downloading a ubuntu live cd. With that simply reboot using it, when loaded come to our site and download the linux version. Run it. Should work very smoothly.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mr_rax:
I re-did it on a Vista 32 bit box and it worked flawlessly. I believe you might need another couple of seconds for the Win 7 64 bit version as the only difference I noticed was that when you showed the second "windows sucks" message on my Win Vista box, my phone was already in the Clockwork Menu, whereas in my Win 7 64 bit box, by the time the second "windows sucks" message appeared, my phone was still on the white rebooting screen.

Thanks for the awesome work!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shadowmite:
Gotcha, THANK you for that, I'll go add a loop to try about 10 times on the delays before it aborts...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ogre150:
I just need to give a shout out to unrEVOked for all the hard work. Had the windows problem with v3. Did v3.1 worked flawlessly.

I espescially loved the "Please wait for 5 seconds because Window sucks" and "Wait another 3 seconds because, Seriously, Windows Sucks". That my friends was friggin' hilarious.

Again thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pozer69:
I have the same exact issue, I'm using linux.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shadowmite:
rom manager has some bugs I hate to say. It's running it's fakeflash'd version thinking it's later than what the phone has. do a reboot recovery and you'll see whats on it...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
I have been trying for hours. I tried this and drivers are in stalled right. HTC stuff is gone. Charging only debugging on. I get stuck at waiting for device. My computer sees it but nobody home. I ran it as as admin. When leaving hboot, i went to fastboot usb then hit reboot is that the right way to reboot for this to work. I am on unlocked desire..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pozer69:
It worked thanks. It also looks like rom manager finally updated itself.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Had a problem but got it working.

I ran into a problem with v3.1 in that my phone would reboot and reboot and reboot (4-6 white screen/vibrates, before it would move onto the next screen). Sometimes W7 would tell me that reflash v3.1 had stopped responding, other times it would say it was done when it hadn't even started.

I charged my phone to 100%, left it to cool down overnight, and started fresh in the morning. That time it worked.

Just something to think about.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JPorter900:
This is ridiculously brilliant work. Worked flawlessly when run using gksudo on Ubuntu 10.04, I had recovery and root on my wife's Incredible in a matter of minutes.

Excellent job! Thank you!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WildZontar:
Does this erase anything already on the phone?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] f3justusc:
This is just another way to root and it's a lot easier for a lot of people. If you are already fully rooted then this is of no use to you.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] doug piston:
Untrue. It also flashes the newest ClockWork recovery image. Also gives you the option to chose your own .img's
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rnmedic1839:
OTA update

Guys is that OTA update someones attempt at getting attention? Soe far reported leaked on the 16 its the 18th now and nothing.

Oh by the way I did a factory data reset and You guys are are fantastic still rooted after the data reset. Outstanding work where can I contribute to you all its well deserved.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gadget!:
There is a link in the first post for donations.

Quite frankly, I am amazed at how few donations have been made considering the benefits provided and the amount of people that are using them.

There has been a lot of hours put into providing this for us.

Come on guys, dig into your wallets and show some appreciation!

gadget!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] the337:
used this and it went perfectly! i have one question though when i use clockworkmod and make a nandroid backup. when i go to view my backup folders they're labeled with numbers where i assume the first set is the date and the last 3 numbers are the time. however, if it is the time it doesn't match up with the time in my location. am i missing something?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rnmedic1839:
Just made a $25.00 contribution. Thanks to all who helped with this. Now if anyone can answer the OTA update or not update Is it going to happen or is it just someones attemtp at gaining hits for a certain web site.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rpearl:
We have a leaked OTA which seems legit. We haven't seen the official OTA though, just some reports on Friday.

Whoops, wrong forum!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] statona:
Ok - I got myself into a world of mess... I HAVE A TOTAL WHITE SCREEN... I rooted using unrevoked3, installed froyo - no problems, then attempted to install the market app through a .zip file that I loaded on the SD card loaded it, and now I get a white screen...

However, before adding froyo - I was trying to unroot... and it was aborting the app I installed from the "unroot video"... and somehow, I came upon the app to install froyo - did so, etc...I have tried to do some of the things that I know - restart using the down volume and I get the hboot screen and I have tried all of the options in there... but eventually, rebooting, ultimately brings me back to a white screen.

I'm very very non-technical and have no idea what to do with it next.

Now I just want to get back to my happy go lucky life of having an android...and a phone that is needed for work.

Help!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mr. Spontaneous:
Have you tried installing one of the RUU's?

Really, you shouldn't be doing this stuff if you don't know what all the commands are doing. Especially on a device that you can't afford to have die.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] reagianicparable:
Anyone that may know:

I still cannot get the custom recovery to flash. It always just goes into the stock recovery after rebooting.

Is there a way for me to flash it myself? Say, in the ADB shell in the stock recovery using the old root method?

Thanks in advance!!

Just got it working with 3.1. Thank you loads guys. Donation to EFF will be coming with my next paycheck.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TrailBlazer31:
Did you install the Drivers and turn USB debugging on?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NorEastR:
Okay I'm a little new to the android OS and having a little bit of trouble getting root. I have the drivers and everything installed properly and when I click the unrevoked3 icon it goes through everything than an error pops up saying "Communications with phone unexpectidly terminated. Try again." but it goes to the clockwork mod? I'm doing a nandroid backup right now and going to do a whipe data in the clockwork menu and install froyo and see if that works. is that what you're supposed to do?

EDIT** nvm got it once i wiped the phone, installed the new unrevoked3 3.1, reinstalled the drivers the phone rooted seamlessly. GREAT WORK donation sent!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] palomosan:
So this doesn't give you root, it's just to enable you to flash custom roms, noob question, thanks?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NorEastR:
No, it give's you root. To have the ability to flash custom roms I believe you need root or I've just been completely lost in all this reading I've done for the past week or so.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] palomosan:
Thanks, this was so fast I didn't notice it. I'm rooted, now to play nice with my Dinc.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Imaulle:
anyone see this yet? latest build of CM6

[Droid Incredible Android Development] the337:
if i do a factory reset will i still keep root? the reason i ask is say i want to create a nandroid backup of the complete stock settings of my phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] damTyD:
Issue with Clockwork

First, great job to the developers. This root is very simple. I am however having a little issue with Clockwork. I can get to recovery screen, but when I select any option from the menu, such as nandroid, the screen goes black. Once the screen is black, I can press the power key, and the recovery menu shows up again. Basically, I can't make a selection from the recovery menu. Any help on this would be appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] the337:
in clockworkmod you use the optical trackpad to select instead of the power button. not sure which you're using but that might help.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] damTyD:
Oh god I'm a noob. Thank you very much.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] the337:
no problem. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] IrvChynaman:
unrEVOked definitely made this process wayy easy... thanks for your hard work guys!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rice247:
Wow, this was the worst tool in the world. It took sooo long to get this to work.

J/K

This was probably the easiest tool I have ever used. Worked with no issues. Thanks for the hard work. Donation coming this payday
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
after what just happened today *read sticky*, im scared!! can someone tell me the percentage of bricking for using this painless root.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] LeoD:
To my knowledge this tool has worked flawless for just about everyone and for the ones that have had problems did NOT brick their phones cause of the tool. More to the point though in your case from what I read in one of the other threads you bricked your phone by pulling the battery while trying to flash your radio, correct? While I am sorry that you had this happen to you it does not have anything at all to do with this tool.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pozer69:
I am one of the guys that bricked their phone. It wasn't the tool, nor was it updating roms or kernals (I did that no problem with this tool), it was the radio update that screwed up my phone. I wasn't paying attention to the number of reboots in the cycle.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] LeoD:
Yeah i am sorry you wound up bricking your phone and appricate your honesty. I can not believe some posts sometimes. Noone wants to brick their phone but most of this is testing as such there is a risk. One does have to accept that or simply leave their phone alone and wait for the OTA. Again sorry you lost a phone, this tool though is the easiest, probably the safest root tool I've ever tested with. Good Luck :)
