I'm new here so I'm not allowed to post links yet. However, the bit.ly link that someone posted above is the same source I used.

What I meant by my last question is, once I'm rooted (using unrevoked 3.2), what are the steps to go back to "unrooted" 2.2? When I go to the original post that currently throws you to the unrevoked2 page, I don't see the instructions on how to do this :S

how do you use the live chat freenode? I'm using google chrome browser
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
I used Firefox and couldn't see a text box for me to chat with other people. However, at the top of the irc chat (where people are posting messages/conversations) there is a link to download the file for either Win/OSX/Linux.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] leech2082:
The irc chat was a great idea! Fully rooted with no problems!!!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Marchief:
works a treat

V3.2 worked fine for me, just need busybox now
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ed Zachary:
leech, I got the same message.

There are two options offered with the message, one of them is to do a (I think it's partial) busybox download and install. Tap that button, let the install run, then come back into Ti. It will then be able to get su access.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Marchief:
NOTE: I couldn't install busybox on my desire I installed the official Froyo rooted ROM on this forum and it all worked ok, can't seem to partition my SD card atm though
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jager420:
they took the tool down. Had some bugs. They want it to work as flawless as it did when you rooted your EVO. BTW not to sound like a **** but you could of did some research before you took your friends phone for the day. Might of saved you some trouble.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] waggoner5:
I have just ran the Beta version of 3.2 and all seemed to go well. I cannot tell any difference and am wondering where to go to see if rooted 2.2 is running.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
If rooting was successful you should see a "super user" icon in the apps drawer.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] waggoner5:
Thanks for the reply. Superuser is there so it must have worked.

Worked for me yesterday. Thanks so much. I love this site. Now to find a page on what to do to my phone once rooted :)

3.21 is out now: http://unrevoked.com/recovery
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
Cool, thanks!

The wiki says that it permanently unlocks NAND on the Evo, Inc, and Desire CDMA. That means that users who do this won't need to use Forever, right?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 1967ls2:
Hey Guys, I am trying to root my Incredible for the first time here. I installed the drivers that it said to install and that went well. I downloaded the Unrevoked 3.21 a few minutes ago. I open it up and then plug my phone in via the USB cord and nothing happens. Am I missing something here?

When I open up the reflash package exe that I downloaded from Unrevoked 3.21 it opens a big pop up box that says "unrevoked3 painless root and reflash" at the bottom it says waiting for device, plug phone in now and enable USB debugging....

My phone is on USB debugging, I plug it in and nothing happens at all.

What am I doing wrong here? Thanks guys.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] UndergroundWire:
Right

[Droid Incredible Android Development] UndergroundWire:
Definitely the way you installed the driver's. Had the same issue when I installed this on my friends computer. Make sure you:

1) Uninstall any VZW software

2) Uninstall any HTC Drivers or software

3) Try reinstalling the modified HBoot Android Drivers by following Unrevoked's instructions.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 1967ls2:
Thank you for the reply. I am on my work PC and there is no Verizon software or HTC software on here.

I followed the instructions on installing the HBoot Android Divers from the Unrevoked instructions page and when it was finished it said it was successful and in the Device Manager it said Android Phone, Android Bootloader Interface. I followed the instructions exactly. I downloaded the Unrevoked 3.21 and it gives me a reflash package.exe file. When I open that it gives me the pop up box I described above, I plug the phone in with USB Debugging on and nothing happens.

How should I proceed? Do I remove the HBoot Drivers I installed and redo it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mac6324:
I had the same issue where it would just sit there waiting for me to plug in phone even though phone was plugged in and had debugging checked. I fixed my problem by deleting the HBOOT drivers and reinstalling the HTC Sync software on the PC, this package includes the HTC Drivers. I deleted the HTC Sync but kept the HTC drivers installed. Then I reinstalled the HBOOT drivers using the tutorial they provided. Then I opened up the UnRevoked exe and worked perfectly on my phone and my wife's phone, no issues. .Hope this helps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 1967ls2:
Thanks for the reply. How do I delete the HBOOT drives? I know how to install the HTC Sync software on the PC and delete it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shiriban:
As my first post

and probably one of my few posts, I just wanted to tell the XDA Development Team that I am grateful for the one-click release of Unrevoked to root my Verizon Incredible.

My battery life went from 8-9 hours to 6 after the 2.2 update and the bloatware from HTC and Verizon were driving me insane. I even went as far as walking into a Verizon store and demanding they remove the applications that were completely irrelevant to me. Their response was, 'We don't have access to the phones to do that in the stores. Verizon doesn't trust us.'.

30 minutes reading the instructions and running Unrevoked just made me one of the happiest Incredible users out there.

Thank you for placing the root access of my phone in the proper person's hand. (The owner's hand). I paid for the phone, not leased. Verizon shouldn't be able to install software that is useless to me (Verizon Navigator when I've had Google Maps from Day 1 as an example).

Now I feel like I really own my phone since now I can control it. Soon as I find a way to get the mobile hotspot working like PDA Net for my phone I can finally give Verizon the middle finger. Charging me 20 bucks for hardware ability I purchased and software ability provided by Google is retarded. I don't even need my phone as a mobile hotspot, I just want to use it to tell Verizon to F-Off.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] UndergroundWire:
Go into drivers and find Android* and delete. This time when you install the drivers, select the root directory of the extracted modified drivers instead of 32-bit / 64-bit specifically. You should get some message that they are not signed. Accept to install anyway.

Launch the unrevoked program without your phone connected. When prompred, connect your phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mac6324:
I misspoke, sorry. Just reinstall the HTC sync like I said, and then go Start Menu > Control Panel > add or remove programs > remove HTC Sync. You should also see a program called HTC Driver Installer, leave that one on the PC. Then do the HBOOT install from the tutorial. You don't have to download everything again, just the installation. You have do install those drivers everytime you root a phone (I found this out rooting my phone and then the wife's). It should work then. I think. Feel free to PM me if you want and I can walk you through it as you go if you like.

Will Unrevoked 3.21 work on Desire with Hboot 0.93 and firmware 2.10.405.2?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ff4930:
Indeed. Very easy process for me as well. Thanks unrEVOked!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tcberg2010:
I believe the Linux download may be bad, reports as a 26mb file yet only takes 2 secs to download?? To back that up I received an error while it was flashing something in stock recovery. Ended up having to use Windows version on wifes computer. Awesome work guys!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jpmaniac87:
So, I just want to make sure... I tried scanning through all of these pages... This 3.21, all it does is downgrade the phone to 2.1? Or is it full root? Will I have to do a full root after running 3.21? Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
It roots your phone whether you're running 2.1 or 2.2. No downgrading. After using it, you'll have ClockworkMod recovery installed, root & Superuser.apk, and S-OFF.

unrEVOked 3.21 HTC Droid Incredible 2.2 no internet :[

Please help... Everything on my phone works but the internet... I had the net with Verizon's network before I flashed it with the unrEVOked 3.21... Transfered my cricKet phone number to the Incredible after the root/flash. Yes, I have internet with my plan... Anyway, under the "Wireless & networks" menu "Mobile network" is checked and it says it's "Turning on" but it's grayed out and stuck like that... Under "About phone" and "Network" everything looks okay... Any ideas??? Please help... One more thing I can get internet through my wifi network... Cricket refreshed my internet and later I programed with *228 send but still nothing without wifi... However, now when I am on wifi I can uncheck "Mobile network" but if I try to check it again I'm back to square one... Argh...

Stuck Pushing Recovery

I had a rooted stock Evo 2.2 phone. It was stock 2.2 and I used the previous downgrade/root/upgrade method to gain root. I just applied the HTC update from the site posted in the unrevoked tweet last night. Now I'm attempting to root with Unrevoked 3.21 and it's stuck at "Pushing Recovery." It's been there for about 30 minutes. I have USB Debugging on. I'm running XP. Any ideas?

[EDIT] SORRY, I'm an idiot. I still had HTCSync running. I shut it down and killed all the background processes from Teleca and everything worked fine.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] monoxl1:
I updated with 2.2 on my icredible and now i dont have any camera or led flash. Any one have a fix for this ??

Having problems since root!!

Since i rooted my dink i have not been able to get my computer to recognize my phone. It still beeps when i plug it in but the drives say insert disc. Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xtreme3737:
I ran 3.21 on my new stock 2.2 Incredible yesterday and am having issues. The program finished with no errors and I also have SU in S-off. The only problem I am having is with the clockwork recovery. When I hboot and try to enter recovery all I get is a black screen with no writing and the phone appears to freeze. At this point I have to do a battery pull to restart the phone. I have tried running 3.21 a few other times hoping it would fix the problem but I have not been successful. Do any of you know of an alternative recovery I could load be sides clockwork and have any other advice to remedy this problem?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xtreme3737:
Just an update, I rerooted with 3.21 and Amon's Recovery and everything worked great. Is there any perk to using Clockwork or should I just stick with what is working me me?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jpmaniac87:
One thing I like about clockwork is that you can install zip files that are in a folder and not directly on your sd card cause I sometimes forget to move things from my download folder on my sd card before rebooting in recovery. Also, features in rom manager won't work without clockwork flashed. Other than that, I use them both. O, and you can't update with fresh updater unless amon ra recovery is flashed. It's real easy to bounce back and fourth between the two with rom manager
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xtreme3737:
I installed rom manager on the phone and used it to install clockwork. I then went to recovery but amon's came up. I then restarted the phone in HBoot and it proceeded to install clockwork. After a few minutes I had clockwork up on my screen. Now is where the problems come in. I then restarted the phone and booted normaly. Later I decided I wanted to do a backup of my phone so I went in rom manager and started the backup process and at that point the phone entered recovery but instead of seeing clockwork it loaded Amon's. What am I doing wrong. I have not had any of these issues with my eris.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sirajsalim:
worked

Thanks!

this worked for me. was having some issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] player50:
1. Go to your phone App.

2. Hit ##778 call

3. Edit mode

4. Code is "000000"

5. click on M.IP Default Profile

6. edit the NAI and DUN NAI to "MDN@mycricket.com"

MDN is your phone number BTW.

Hope that sloves your issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Addicted2Droid:
sorry if this is a noob question but I can't seem to find the answer. I want to root my D-Inc but in starting the process I noticed under the device manager the Andriod was not listed under "Other Devices" and also it doesn't say Android 1.0. when i expand Android it shows Android ADB Interface.

Am I suppose to update the ADB with the hboot drivers? Im running Windows 7 Ultimate on a 64 bit laptop if that makes a difference.

Another thing to note is when I started the entire process I thought running the unrevoked exe file would install a program but instead it seemed like it flashed my phone. Although everything appears to be the same, I did notice I have a new app "Super User". Not sure if my phone is now rooted or what but I definitely did not install the hboot drivers that are said must be done for windows. I also never did a recovery/backup.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ghamden:
Newest Verizon Rom

3.21 won't root

hopefully they will release newer version
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Addicted2Droid:
So I can't root until an update? What about the super user thing. How did I end up with that and is it bad? Do I need to undo it somehow and if so how do I do it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DS36:
Whats up guys

I'm having a issue with the hboot usb driver

The driver will not update at all for the life of me.

When I click the fume path it says "driver not found"

This is my only issue

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
If you have S-OFF, you can reflash ClockworkMod and re-root. If you're S-ON, you have to wait until Unrevoked is updated or attempt to downgrade with the previous RUU. (Might be possible? Haven't looked for info one way or the other.)

If you have SuperUser and it's working, then you're already rooted and don't have anything to worry about. If all this is confusing to you, you need to stop now and do more reading before you do something dumb and get yourself into a really tight spot (or, worse yet, brick your phone altogether).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Addicted2Droid:
Well I tried quick cache cleaner which requires rooting for one click clear amd it worked. Kinda surprised actually but i basically stopped anyway out of fear or messing something up. I'd love to learn more and wonder if I can install a theme but I really don't understand enough. Seems like no matter how much I read I don't get it
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
IME, there were a couple stumbling points when it came to understanding how all the pieces fit together. Once I got past those particular hurdles, most of the rest of the stuff I'd read made a lot more sense.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Addicted2Droid:
Will installing a new ROM wipe out all my apps, contacts and anything else? What is the best way to back all this up for quick reinstall. Contacts I'm not worried about due to google sync.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] REYES702:
Yes and I use Titanium back up. Once I get the new ROM installed VIA CLOCKWORK RECOVERY, I only restore missing apps + data. NO SYSTEM STUFF except for storage that says 2.2.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] failurbydesign:
Any luck with the new RUU?? Thanks for all the great work!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Addicted2Droid:
Great thanks. I downloaded titanium backup and dropbox. Backed everything up including doing clockwork backup

The crazy part in all those is I still never updated with the hoot drivers I simply ran the unrevoked flash and it rooted my d-inc
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DS36:
Bump.....

[Droid Incredible Android Development] geekmug:
I just got my Incredible and have a fully updated phone. unrevoked3 sits at the "waiting for root..." phase every time. I have tried some of the manual timing-attack rooting techniques to no avail as well. Maybe something is different about the newest OTA update that closes these exploits? *grumble*
[Droid Incredible Android Development] boofa:
You have to wait for an update to unrevoked, can't currently root this version unless you already have S-OFF.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] failurbydesign:
Whats S-OFF

Found it

[Droid Incredible Android Development] grokdesigns:
Same here on a friend's DInc. I'm sure the Unrevoked team will update soon though!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AceXMachine:
great....

So you mean to tell me that I have spent the last 8 hours trying to root a phone when it was never possible since i bricked my phone and used the latest update (hboot .92, WWE 3.26.605.1 Radio 2.15.00.07.28)? Even chance of downgrading? What is the latest confirmed working rooted hboot/rom/radio for the Inc? Give me Root, or give me Death!

Thanks in advance...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] boofa:
Can't downgrade, just gotta be patient and wait for a new unrevoked.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] XGaSpAcHo:
is that the message that says it's safe to reboot?

and does your phone run really slow until you reboot it?

just trying to see if i'm getting the same thing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cymantix:
unrEVOked 3.21 and lastest OTA update

I tried to root my Incredible, but it hung at "Waiting for root... (safe to reboot if this doesn't work)". I disconnected the USB and tried to reboot the phone. I had no luck doing a standard hard reboot. I removed the battery, reseated it, and the phone booted up normally like nothing happened. If I understand correctly, unrEVOked has to install a custom recovery prior to rooting the phone. I'm unclear on how far the process got. Do I now have a custom recovery on my phone? How can I determine if the phone is S-ON or S-OFF?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sigmarr:
You can confirm s-(on/off) by powering down your phone and then press and hold the volume down and power button. This will boot your phone into hboot and on the top of the screen you will see s-(on/off)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] XGaSpAcHo:
can somebody please help me?

i rooted my replacement incredible (before loading the latest OTA update and before activating it). now it's stuck in a constant boot loop. it shows the htc incredible screen, then the quiety briliant screen, then the droid animation, and then reboots.

i tried flashing a clockwork mod recovery i had before and that made it do the same thing only it showed the main home screen for a second and then reboot again.

i just tried clearing out the dalvik cache and loading the ROM from scratch. hopefully that does the trick. if not then can somebody tell me what else i can do?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Are you S-On or Off?

Also, SLCD or AMOLED?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] XGaSpAcHo:
s-off. not sure about the screen. how do i check?

nothing i've tried seems to work. i'm thinking about flashing the P13.zip (i forget the exact filename) downgrade.

i wonder if it could be something to do with the fact that i never activated the phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
How old is the phone itself? If you still have the box, there will be a number somewhere with W2 or W3 in it. W2 is AMOLED, W3 is SLCD.

If you're AMOLED, since you have S-Off, I can email you the Clockwork Mod recovery PB31IMG and your hboot can flash that. From there, you'll need to find a SuperUser.zip from somewhere (I'll look into that for you while you do all the checking, I don't have mine anymore) and flash that. From there, you should be able to flash a fresh rom of your choice by going into recovery from hboot.

I recently had to do a back to stock fix for my 3G drops, and Unrevoked wouldn't root my phone normally, so I was lucky to have S-Off and be able to flash a custom recovery image.

But if you're SLCD, you'll have to find a copy of the SLCD CWM Recovery, as it is different from the AMOLED version.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] XGaSpAcHo:
i don't have the box. it was a refurbished replacement verizon sent me. any other way to check?

i am able to boot into hboot and can access recovery. does that help or would i still need to flash all the files you spoke about?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
If you're refurbished, it's probably AMOLED.

Since you can access recovery, try flashing a rom or two, doing factory resets and Cache/Dalvik Cache wipes in between.

If that doesn't work, PM me your email address and I'll send you 3 .zip files. The first one is the unroot and back to stock (it's the 2nd most recent, don't worry). Put it on the root of your sd-card and flash it as a PB31IMG. It'll give you stock everything. The second one, which you will wait to hboot flash (you'll need to run the unrEVOked root tool from your PC first, and once it gets to waiting for root and the phone appears to no longer be doing anything but will be on, you will unplug your phone, power it down, and enter hboot to continue along your merry way), will be the CWM Recovery, which also needs to be flashed as a PB31IMG. Third step, is the SuperUser.zip for you. That you will flash through your new CWM Recovery like normal (install .zip from sd-card).

That's a mouthful, so here's a simple flowchart.

1. Flash the first .zip (the unroot PB31IMG) through hboot.

2. Reboot and run the unrEVOked tool.

3. Unplug phone after lack of activity (but still on) when the unrEVOked tool says waiting for root.

4. Flash the second .zip (the CWM PB31IMG) through hboot.

5. Power down and flash the third .zip (the SuperUser.zip) through CWM

6. You're now rooted again! Reboot phone, download roms and begin flashing once more!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] XGaSpAcHo:
ok i'll try to play around with the ROMs and then let you know. thanks for your help so far man.
