Hey all. first time here. have a question you all might be able to help with. I heard that unrevoked now works for evo with 3.0 builds. if this is true ( I need to find out) how do I make a back up, so that if I ever need to go back to before root? I only did my friends phone with unrevoked. then I got mine later, so I am kinda new to the rooting thing. any suggestions or places I can be pointed to?

Yes, it's this little thing called a SEARCH...
Ignore his smart remarks, what is the hboot on your phone and was your phone shipped with froyo on it?

I know this seems like the most retarded question ever, but can anyone point me in the right direction? Yes, I've used search and the results were all bogged down with trivial crap. I want to root my Incredible so I can use a Gingerbread ROM. I'm completely ignorant when it comes to rooting and crap, so could someone preferably point me towards a beginners guide? Thanks.

You use a RUU and flash it like a radio through your update. It will set your phone back to just like you got it from verizon. No CWM, ROM, Kernel, any evidence of tampering. It's the best thing to do if you break your phone. Although I sent my old one in that I bricked without doing it and they sent me a new one and never said anything.

You download the file and make sure it is named exactly PB31IMG.zip
then:
1. Put the PB31IMG.zip onto the root of your SD card
2. Turn your phone off (not reboot)
3. Hold volume down and the power button until your phone boots up into HBoot
It will ask you if you want to update, press volume up to update.
Then once it finishes it will ask you if you want to reboot, press volume down.
Here is the newest radio:

I am not sure what "flashing WM" is. I am no expert at Android. I've had mine for 3 months but it's very addicting and i strive to learn more always and people were willing to help me and gave me the feeling that none of my questions were stupid. I hope I can make others feel the same.
You put the RUU on your SD card on the phone. The link I posted will go through it step by step but basically you just load the RUU (PB31IMG.zip) to the main directory of your SD card, power off, volume down + power button and press volume up when it asks you to update and most importantly DO NOT interrupt it. Make sure your battery isn't going to die, your battery won't accidently dislodge and if it seems like its frozen just let it sit there and seem like it is. It is very important not to interrupt radio's and RUU's

Their are 2 options one like posted above that is flashed through hboot from the sd card or the RUU which is a Windows PC based .exe. You can find both with instructions here http://dougpiston.com/?p=7

Yeah it'd be the same concept just root and make sure you do a backup (nandroid) so incase something messes up you can go into clockwork recovery and restore your backup and not lose everything

I Recently *Rooted* My Girlfriend's "HTC Droid Incredible" & *NOTE* This Was After The "OTA" Was Sent Out!! Lol!! I Say This Because Alotta Advice, & Posts I Read Didn't Work If You Received That "DAMN OTA"
But Finally, The Method That Worked For Me Was The *NEW* Method From "Unrevoked-Forever"
I Think I Was The 3.22 Method, But Can't Remember For Sure!!
Anyway, All You Have To Do Is Download: The Boot Drivers, The Unrevoked-Forever Zip., & The 3.22 Zip (Or Whatever The Newest Version Is Now)??
Then Install The "HBootDrivers" To Your Computer!! Follow The Video On The *unrevoked.com* Website!!
Then Open The File 3.22 File, & Click The Top Left File Button, Make Sure USB Debugging Is Enabled Settings/Applications/Development, Connect Your Phone & Let It Run!!
*Note* It Will Look Like It's Not Doing Anything, But It Is, Let It Run!
It Takes About Fourty Minutes To Complete & Will TELL YOU WHEN IT'S FINISHED!!
GOOD-LUCK!!

Place rom on sdcard
wipe data and all else

How is this comparable to the rom listed here?

I want to have a known working recovery before I make any more changes to my phone. I am not exactly a newbie to this stuff (I have a Pandigital Novel that has been rooted and hacked into a nice tablet) but this is taking things to a whole new level for me and I need my phone. So I'm a bit nervous.
Of course I really wish I'd asked around some before I got to work on removing some of the stuff on it already (mostly known junkware from Virgin Mobile and stupid stuff like weblinks pretending to be native apps) after rooting it with superoneclick and installing root explorer. I need to know if your rom or the one I linked to will be able to allow me to roll back to a default installation that I can revert to if there are any issues down the road. Can you help me?
I apologize if this isn't the right place for this question. Thank you for the many mods I have seen you do already. I look forward to trying them once I have a fallback plan.

I'm gonna guess and say that his doesn't have the binaries in it. I don't know.

Forgive my ignorance, but isn't rooting actually a requirement of obtaining the backup? Or did I misread the instructions somewhere? It'd be nice if someone at Virgin Mobile were to leak the complete rom somewhere so people had a fall back option besides trying to return the phone as bricked. (If that's even possible?)

Sounds like a good reason to pick a forum. Not sure if I'm a member of any places that do that since I run with adblock and noscript enabled most of the time.
Any chance you could link me to written instructions on how to flash the rom you have here? I know you have video tutorials but those are harder to follow for me because I am hard of hearing. Music I can do because it is "beautiful noise" and I can usually find some lyrics to get the words of. Your video HOWTOs are not good for me because I have to strain to hear what is being said.
Thanks again for your time and patience in replying to me.

Thanks. Dude above me, there is a rom flashing tutorial at prepaidandroids.net. We will help you out there. Its a site that specializes in on the Optimus v itself.

Thanks for posting this. It just came in handy when I was changing my virgin phone number. Part of the process is dialing ##841446# to bring up the activation menu, but the ## prefix on CM7 does not work, apparently only a stock ROM can do that.
Any way to put it on a phone friendly site? No matter what browser I use on my phone it will not download from google docs.

THANKS, this worked perfectly.
It's pretty much as described, a stock Opt V rom, with Super User already set up and installed.
Titanium worked on it no problem as well.
thanks a ton man! i needed to flash back to stock to get my 3G working again. if you flash a custom rom while youre between payments, you know, during down time, you may need to flash back to stock and run the activation app next time you put service on your phone.
worked like a charm. i thought my 3G was broken. im doing a happy dance now!
Anyway I can get a link to the stock rom with all the bloatware removed but not rooted?

Alright, so I have honestly looked every where and read as much as I can.
I have a Rooted EVO with the stock ROM. I really want to update to Gingerbread but am very confused. I do not want to lose my rooted status and I do not want a ROM with a bunch of MODS. I just want a simple stock ROM with Gingerbread and Root access. Is this possible. I am confused by everything I read and do not want to brick my phone.
Will updating my phone with the OTA while Rooted ruin my phone? Will I be able to keep my root status?
Thanks!

There are two different rooted versions (with very minor modifications) of the new stock Gingerbread ROM (anything with the labeled "Sense" is based on HTC's ROM's, though some of them are based on ROM's from other phones), both on the first page of threads in this forum. Look for "4.22.651.2" in the thread subject--and yes, those will keep your phone rooted and S-OFF. I believe there's a third thread with a method of updating without a flash, and yet another with minor modifications to the stock ROM (the Titanium-X ROM).
By contrast, anything that says "AOSP" is based on the Android Open Source Project, and therefore quite different from an HTC ROM, though all functions work on many of them (but there is some debate on how well the various radios work on AOSP ROM's).
Okay maybe I had that coming or maybe I just didn't phrase the question right.
I looked at the page linked above before I posted this and I read it all and still was confused. I guess I am looking for the idiots guide to doing this. I don't feel confident enough on my own.
I DID read, ALOT, and I looked at all the posts that are suggested when posting a new thread.

They are referring to the fact that this thread is for development only. For future reference you can avoid being flamed by posting in the Q&A section.
Don't worry to much about these guys, they lurk and jump at the chance to show off their supremacy over noobs.
Another word of advice would be to hit the thanks button for mtknife for his helpful and humble response.

Alright will do!
I thought the Q&A was for other basic questions. My error.
Do you have the latest recovery installed of RA or Clockwork ?
I have clockwork i believe. I just did what I think is a nandroid backup, I went into recovery and did backup.
That's always smart so you are doing good so far. What you want to do now is download the zip file and place it on your SD card. You can download it directly on your phone if its easier for you (wifi recommended). Just follow the link posted by dodgerbluehero above and I would recommend starting with the odexed version.
Now go into recovery and choose flash from zip - then - choose zip on SD card. Navigate to the downloaded file and hit the power button to select it and again to confirm. It can take a few minutes to write the files so just leave it alone. It will tell you when it's done and you can reboot.
These instructions are from my memory but should be pretty close. You would typically want to wipe but the dev says not to worry about it if you are coming from a stock rom.
Give it a shot, you will be fine. Pm me if you have any questions because the mods will probably close this thread soon. Good luck!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
what confuses me is where it says "firmware". Do I still have to install that or just the ROM??
The firmware is optional. You can install the rom and then decide if you want to flash the radio as well afterwards.
After you flash, the first boot sometimes takes a little while. Just let it do it's thing. You will be happily surprised how easy this actually is to do.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
but what benefit does it have? is the radio i have not as good?
Some people get better results with signal/3g speeds/wimax. The consensus seems to be that it varies by phone and area.
You can flash the rom without also flashing the radio and be just fine. Stop worrying and take the leap.
On the other hand this may not be for you.

Well I appreciate the time you spent explaining it. I just don't have the money to buy a new phone if I brick it. I rooted my phone on my own but never did any rom updates. I am going to try it once it downloads. Thank you again.
Oh one more thing, be sure that your phone has plenty of charge to make it through the flash and restart or that could lead to bricking your phone.

Agreed, at this point in the game, that's about the only way to brick your phone. It's one of my personal favorite little jokes when clockworkmod asks me are you sure? This cannot be undone! Darn near everything can be fixed thanks to this awesome community!

Thanks to everyone for keeping this going it has helped me so much. One quick question I have installed the ROM and the firmware but I see in the apps things like the blockbuster app and wanted to remove it. I cant seem to uninstall it so I thought it wasn't rooted properly. I tried using Unrevoked3 on it but it failed stating

I think I recall seeing something about that error on the unrevoked website. I'm out and about right now but I'll check on it when I get home, but in the meantime if you wanna do some digging, I'd start there
I've searched, and I've searched, and I've searched...
And I'm still confused.
There's so much old info out there, so many different versions of the same phone, and so many new words I'm not used to, I just can't find the right set of instructions that I need for my phone. All I want to do, is a simple root, and get those stupid freeloading apps that "S" pre-installs off of my phone; I want maps and telenav to stop starting automatically on bootup; I want my battery to fully charge, and I want my mobile hot-spot! I don't want special roms (I'm only 95% certain I know what they are), or anything else special for that matter. Just access to fix my phone so it's not completely useless and constantly rebooting the home screen due to lack of ram.
Here's my stats:
Android version:
2.3.3
Baseband version:
2.15.00.0808
Build number & Software number:
4.54.651.1
If you need any more info, I'll happily post it.
I am NOT asking for someone to hold my hand through the process, just to point me in the direction of the correct guide. I must have read at least 15 different guides now, and haven't a clue which one is the one I need to use.
Palm Pre was so much easier...lol

I used revolutionary and it was painless. Follow the instructions on the site and the assosiated information and you will not have an issue.
Once rooted you can install another recovery (amon ra) or just use clockwork which revolutionary offers to install. Perform a backup in recovery and reboot your phone.
Get titanium backup and you can start removing the apps you want.
That's what I did, hopefully it helps a bit.

Thanks, revulutionary is exactly what I needed. Seems like every guide I searched and read, went other directions.
maz - I was giggling about the dude remark, not mad about it (hence the "lol"). Seems maybe you need to save that chill pill for yourself.

Revolutionary is good. I recommend you read more about custom ROMs after that, there's a good chance you will find something that suits you better than your stock ROM. MIUI and CM7 are both great ROMs to play around with. Make a backup before you do anything with ROMs.
I've helped alot of my friends that are new to android/smartphones/rooting to understand it all and get up and running, if you need help just let me know.
