Ihad just replaced my incredible with another and the technique I used to root it is kit working on the new one . Unrevoked keeps saying failure to push recovery image. I have the driver installed on the pc. Anyone know of a link it what I am doing wrong. It worked with the last 2 phones I had just not this one.

Are you using the latest Unrevoked Forever for 2.2? If you other phones were 2.1, that could be why it worked then and not now...just a thought.

I had some issues come up with my rooted DInc today and ended up returning to official stock 2.2 Version & then rerooting.
I took the most recent OTA after returning to stock 2.2 because I forgot about the issue. BUT, I downloaded the UnRevoked Tool and rooted agian with it.
I had a new problem with the tool hanging up while trying to root. I was getting the message "waiting for root (safe to restart if this fails)" But my phone was at the white HBOOT menu screen and I just selected the FASTBOOT Menu & then the REBOOT option. My phone rebooted and the tool finished its job. I am a noob so correct me if I am wrong but I think I have the most current update installed and am happily rooted.
3.26.605.1/Baseband Version: 2.15.00.07.28
Rooted with UnRevoked S-off
Kernal: Hydra Standard Speed Undervolt 2.6.32-Hydra-ssuv-v05
Deleted Bloatware with Titanium Backup Chuck Norris Mode &
Wireless Tether working like a charm

If you are S-On and received the latest "Nov 15th" (or 14th??) OTA update, then take a look at -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9384491&postcount=199 and some of the posts following it.
It worked for me on my GF's AMOLED INC that had S-On and had already received the "Nov 15th" OTA update. Her's is now rooted with S-OFF.
They are testing their new fix today!

Hoping Final Exams are done for them. Hoping testing doesn't take long. Really, I was hoping to have this before this evening, but I will be patient...I'm guessing early next week.

just so you know everyone of the guides is using Unrevoked forever to unlock nand there is nothing better right now since the unlock they use is actually as they say forever
Yea there's nothing wrong with the newer unrevoked. Full nand.

GOOD LUCK
Thanks to everyone! Then i just probably'll use unrevoked!
Same here, I've used unrevoked for some time and no problems

Hey guys,
I used the AlpharevX Windows beta to S-OFF my Inc 2, then rooted using CWM (still on stock rom). I can see the OTA, and can download it, but it won't install.
The progress bar gets about 1/3 the way full then comes up with the triangle with the !.
I've tried it two or three times, did factory reset, have no idea what to do. Do I have to S-ON for it to install? If so, how exactly do I do that?

First, you cannot install an OTA when you have a custom recovery such as CWM installed. You at least need to install the original recovery image for your particular ROM before you try again.
Since the OTA in now available and official, why don't you just wait a few hours and someone will have a fully rooted version of the ROM that you can flash using CWM and not worry about losing S-OFF?
Let me give you a fair warning though, I'm not positive how Alpha set up their root, as I used XTC. BUT I know if you install the OTA with replacing CWM with regular recovery, you MAY be turned back to S-ON WITHOUT an option to get root back, UNLESS using the XTC clip. Enjoy.
Okay, I was afraid of that. I'm used to not even being able to see OTA's at all with CWM (came from Droid X), so it kind of threw me off.
Do you have any idea if the OTA is really any different from the leaked Inc S GB rom that's floating around? If, for some reason, it takes forever to get the ota rooted and they're not that different I may just install the leaked one I have.
Not trying to be a pain, just curious.
Thanks,

Check the Dev section. It looks like there is already a rooted, debloated version available.
I just created a PG32IMG.zip containing. Android-info text file and CWM recovery img renamed to recovery.img and placed it on root of sdcard
Booted into hboot and flashed it ...
Then I replaced the recovery with the stock recovery from the froyo ruu and flashed the stock recovery back....
Then flashed right back to CWM..
Never used any commands via windows or linux
I am going to install the ota and try to go back to cwm recovery and see what I can do from there.
I'll keep you guys informed

This way we will know if the s-off is similar to.unrevoked for the incredible 1. I could do this all day long with theirs.
One way to find out right.

You will recieve the OTA update and get Gingerbread. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED BY MANY that you will NOT be able to -reroot. if you can that's because of the hboot alpha gave you. but if it changes ur hboot you need XTC clip to re-root. RMK already posted a ROOTED ROM of the current OTA. SAME THING, why chance root for OTA. THEY ARE THE EXACT SAME FILES. BUT WITH ROOT! just use his ROM. my 2 cents. do as you please
Link
Hey, Instead of Don't do this, do that, do this, don't update that, If you want the release and don't want to lose root, install from this link. This guy(rmk40) spent some time to get this out to us. Awesome work! You won't lose root, everything works.

Looking at the zip it appears theirs reflashes hboot, which will break s off as far as i know.

I'm unsure what they flash on the refurbs?
Can I expect something compatible with Unrevoked3?
If it does come with 2.3.x can I just follow the 'return to stock'
process to get to a level compatible with Unrevoked?
Thanks
Better hope it doesn't have 2.3.4 update .
Sent from my HTC Droid Incredible using xda premium
It is more than likley going to have 2.3.4 on it as running an ruu is part of the refurb process. If it does you will need to follow this guide to regain root and s-off. This is the only method i have ever seen to root an incredible on 2.3.4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306400
It came with 2.2 installed (SLCD version)
Kind of surprised me too.
I ran Unrevoked3 (supplying a recovery.img for CWMR 5.0.2.0)
and it worked as expected. I then installed Stock+ and am configuring
now.
I just cant get my EVO (v2.3.3) rooted with unrevoked. I get hit with the firmware to new message. I am on a factory stock phone, wiped it several times to clear it. Tried charge only and disk option. I was hoping to try an older version of unrevoked but cant find one. I tried 2 different PC's, Any ideas? thanks.

you can't use unrevoked. Unrevoked was only for 2.2 froyo. You need to use revolutionary.io since your on gingerbread
