Your in the stock recovery. Press vol up and power, then reboot.
Did you temp root or perm root with visionary? Also press volup and power.

hold volume up and power at the same time.
if that doesn't work then hold volume down and power at the same time.

You need S-OFF to be able to flash Clockwork Recovery, temp root won't be enough. And you need Clockwork to be able to do a Nandroid backup of your ROM.

in that guide it doesnt show them using visionary for permroot and s-off should i use that method? or is visionary fine?
What lol ? It absolutely does show how to gain Perm Root and S-OFF with VISIONary . Did you not watch the videos or something ?
Also don't be surprised if the clockwork recovery doesn't "take" the first time around. Apparently this is pretty common. Took me 2 tries as well.

I was trying to do the Rooting using Unrevoked but forgot to turn on ADB mode and now Im stuck on the recovery mode "phone with red triangle with exclamation mark".How do I get out of it so as to go back and turn of the ADB?Thanks
take out your battery and try and switch it on normally. put all the right settings on and start again. atleast i think that should work.
thanks,it turned on as normal.So,if i get back to HBoot trying to use the unrevoked,what do I do next?
im in the HBOOT menu and I don't know exactly what to do next concerning rooting following the unrevoked method as the instructions I've got goi in line with the EVO 4G instead.Link http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
Instead of taking the battery out, hold volume up and and tap the power button. This will bring the recovery menu up.
cheers,i've sorted that out.The phone has been rooted,i think.How do I know it's rooted?what do i need to check on the phone to know the phone's been rooted?Cheers

Fair enough - well you know you are rooted then
It must get installed as part of the root process
Anyone got an idea about the success rate of the perm root? Is it fairly safe to do? How many people have bricked their phones so far?
100% success. Any chance of failure is due to error on the user's part. Feel confident in yourself.

Yes 100% safe if you do it right. Take your time read for hours untill you understand what is going on. If you can get adb running you can root your phone. Just make sure you double check everything.

S-Off is root.
S-off is just so it doesn't flash stock software upon startup...
I ran visionary on mine when I didn't have root access but did have s-off
been fine ever since...
I am not the greatest at android but I rooted my G1 and now my G2 and this was WAY easier and I think with all the detailed information in the forums that it's 100%.

I'm sorry, I should have clarified. S-Off is *technically* root. When people think of being rooted they think of root for what it is, not root until you reboot and then have to root again. S-Off allows a more "true root" is probably a better way to put it. I didn't mean as soon as you get s-off you have su automatically, but s-off lets it stay there.
does anyone know if its possible to unlock the emmc write protect on an slcd incredible running 3.21.605.1 firmware?
its a junk spare phone im trying to revive,and i need to get it s-off and a working recovery. becasue of the issues it has,unrevoked does not work.
because of s-on,flastboot flash does not work. nor does using z4 for temp root then flashing CW with rom manger.
becasue of s-on,emmc write protct i cant use rewrite mmcblk0p21 with a new image,it just boots to the ! and triangle.
any ideas? if i can get a recovery,i can get s-off,then have some other options to try and repair it.

Is that froyo or eclair? unrevoked should work.
Unrevoked has s-off for froyo and eclair which is why I asked.

yes,unrevoked 3.32 works fine for normal,functional slcd incredibles. this is not my first rodeo,trust me it wont work on this one,as i mentioned it has issues. specifically it forgets all its settings every boot,including personal data and user apps. its literally like a factory data reset every time the phone is booted. to add to that,there is only a few minute window that i can do anything in the OS before things start force closing and the phone is literally unuseable.
running unrevoked boots the phone to hboot,does some things,then reboots. when it comes up i have to manually re-check usb debugging to get it to continue. it runs root,then fails,every time. i have run it several times in a row,it wont work.
trying to get permanent root with z4 or visionary does not work either,due to the described reboot issue.
getting temp root with z4 or visionary sometimes works,sometimes will even let me flash clockwork with rom manager,but the recovery does not actually get written due to the s-on and write protect.

There are several different ways to go.
The quickest way (might not work and is just a temp fix) is to download, then unzip the zip file to EVO-RECOVERY folder on your computer. Boot the phone into RECOVERY (with the red triangle), then run the recovery-windows.bat file if you're running Windows on your computer and see does that do anything. Whether or not it works would tell me exactly how the phone was rooted.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/EVO-recovery.zip
The phone is s-on, you're going to need to run unrevoked to gain s-off so you can flash a recovery. You can't flash any unofficial zips in hboot with s-on. Search for unrevoked and your hboot version to find the correct version of unrevoked to unlock the bootloader(hboot).

Toast Method 1 (only needed a PC36IMG file and a temp recovery) or the old Unrevoked (3.1 something, before unrevoked-forever was added). It did not need S-OFF for just flashing ROMs.

Good point. I rooted and S-off via toast right after launch. I guess if someone only did his first step it would look like that. Good point. Speaking of toast, I just threw up quotes of his latest post all over general subforum in all the threads where people are trying to decide if they want nexus or Evo LTE.
They locked the one X down like no tomorrow. Team win and toast can't get recovery to access USB for mount while in recovery. Making me lean nexus.

Did you ever try the EVO-RECOVERY download. No one said anything about pressing volume up and the power button. When you see the red triangle, do not do anything except run the recovery-windows.bat file on your computer (after extracting the files to the EVO-RECOVERY folder) to see if a recovery menu appears. I forgot to mention that the phone must be connected to the computer.
If that does not work, then you might want to go to the unrevoked site and follow their root instructions.

Perfect, the quickest way.
Download the attached files and place them on the root of your SD card.
Flash the unrevoked-forever from the temporary recovery menu that I gave you. That will turn the phone S-OFF.
Then run the PC36IMG file through the bootloader (power off the phone, then volume down +power buttons) and accept the update. That will give you the latest Amon permanent recovery. I also added the superuser.zip file in case you need to flash it (especially on stock ROM if you need it for superuser permissions).

No problem. I just tried to give you a work around to Toast Method 2 (I see the phone was rooted with Toast Method 1 only) which would also S-OFF the phone, but is more complicated.
You could have also used unrevoked, but you probably would needed to unroot first, then install the Hboot drivers, then run unrevoked (not to mention downloading all of those things) which would have taken some time.
