[Q] nov ota update?

hello, i searched some but didn't find what i was looking for, so here it goes. i still haven't installed the nov. ota update yet, keep pushing update later, i want to root but am very inexperienced with that and i know that after updating we can't root for now. should i just install the update, have there been any issues with this update. just wondering because i have a friend that installed the update and he says that it made his phone slower. thanks guys.

Unrevoked provides root with the latest ota. I run a custom rom so I an not sure about the ups our downs of the latest official ota.

Just update to latest OTA and root from there. That's how I did it, using unrevoked. Also youtube search "root droid incredible" and there are a lot of great step-by-step walkthroughs

from what I heard the update just installs more bloatware/verizon market whatever you want to call it...so I would not be surprised if it made it slower...i love custom roms so just do A LOT of research before you do anything with rooting

Although if you install a custom Rom the bloated won't matter... something to think about

Titanium backup will remove bloatware. Is the Nov ota update rootable yet? Before I returned my Incredible I know it wasn't as of then....

Unroot

Hey quick question, what's the easiest way to unroot? Trying to help a friend, he is noob, and I don't know much about the EVO, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Unrooting
1. http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever ; Scroll down to the FAQs, then download the unrevoked s-on zip. This places the security back on your phone, because rooting makes it s-off, and if s-on, quickest way to tell your phone was rooted.
2. Flash that file from recovery, then boot back into the bootloader [vol+down while turning phone on] and verify until its s-on.
3. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/3.70 RUU Zip.zip ; rename that file to PC36IMG, place on the root of your sdcard [not in a folder] then flash it in the bootloader. When the scan that normally does nothing, it'll detect that file. Apply the update then reboot. That's a stock 3.70 firmware file, it'll take you back to stock, unrooted, s-on.

Thanks, would it also work if he just went to updates, and got the new gb update, would u run into problems going that though if it even worked?

If he did that, he could brick his device or lose root permanently.

The method of unrooting is all dependent on the method you used to root with in the first place. Unrevoked (pre 2.3) vs. Alpharev (post 2.3). what is your hboot and radio and recovery?

Rooting after Update?

I reverted my Droid Incredible to stock and then tried to root again. It is showing that it has Android 2.3.4 on it now and I am unable to reroot the phone. It errors out and asks if the firmware is too new. Anyone else having this issue and if so how do we root again?

Have you tried Scotty1223's method for rooting gingerbread? I'm on my phone but it's titled "root 2.3.4,downgrade,and s-off" within the general section. Otherwise I'd provide a link.

Hey, curious, which process did you use to go back to stock? I have to do that soon.

Should be able to find an .ruu, or use pb31.img to restore it

Need help rooting

Okay I have an incredible on the latest ota. S-on and no root. I've been filling the guide that Scotty posted and I get through the unrevoked root process until it says error is your firmware too new. What do I do? I'm lost

Not trying to be rude but just post in his thread. It's easier to have anything related to rooting GB in one location.
