I tryd one today and i got the message unrevoked successfully complete. Then when rebooting it gos to the message waiting for response then i keep getting the messace communication error root interrupted. What could cause this

Is your cable bad? You should unplug the usb from the computer, reboot your phone. Then once the phone is rebooted, leave it on the home screen, with usb debugging enabled and on charge only, and try again. Worked for me on my first time. Also try the lastest unrevoked, its up to like 3.3.2 or something like that.
The cables workin fine. Like i said it gos through the whole process. I have the newest unrevoked also. Its something with this particular phone

You could have a program on your computer interrupting. You need to be sure that any program on you computer that could communicate to the phone via USB is either uninstalled, or completely disabled while using Unrevoked. These things could be things like PDAnet, Easytether, Dropbox, any music syncing software you may use, computer's antivirus, HTC sync, etc. So basically, be sure that there is nothing other than Unrevoked that could possibly communicate with your phone whilst attempting root, then try it again. Also, be 100% sure that you have the correct hboot drivers installed, though I'm sure you do since you've used Unrevoked before. Just throwing out ideas...

Like I said, I don't think its the phone because I've had this similar problem before. The only thing that worked for me was just re-trying unrevoked a couple of times. Or you could try re-downloading the software; that also worked for me.
Ok i appreciate it. I definitely have the correct software bc my girlfriends sister came straight to me a week ago with a evo fresh out of bestbuy and it rooted fine. I will redownload unrevoked 3 just incase and will also make sure nothing else is running on my laptop

Cool, hopefully you get it going. Good luck.
The program hangs when “waiting for the system to settle.” -OR- the program says “Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted.”

Im not sure at this point, because I've never had any issues with unrevoked. You could try using xhausx 's autoroot method. Sorry I don't have any more ideas for you.

One suggestion is to start over from the beginning. Remove the hboot files from your computer; remove any unrevoked files from your computer as well as any unrevoked .apk files from your phone. Clear the temp. folder on your computer. Reboot the phone and your computer. Download HTC sync and then remove it leaving the HTC Drivers on the computer only. Reboot the computer again. Next, re-download the hboot drivers and the latest unrevoked onto your computer. Make sure USB Debugging and Charge Only are selected on your phone. Turn off your antivirus/firewall on your computer and root as usual.
Hi everyone. I am new to the incredible section...I am not a newb to rooting and flashing as I come from the HD2 section. However I am trying to root a friends incredible and I have done everything needed to get unrevoked on on my computer with the correct drivers. I tried to root it several times and it just gives me the "error root failes, is your firmware too new?".
I have tried to do the Z4root way like mentioned in another thread and I just get the same thing. Does anyone have any solid help or advice? Trust me I have searched over and over.
Thanks in advance!

It seems to be a AMOLED...I turned it on with the lights out and the screen didnt glow before the HTC screen (I read that was the way to check). I do have the drivers installed correctly. I have tried on two different computers too...one is windows 7 and the other is Vista.

Hi dude,
I just rooted using the same method, and the first time I got the same messege about new firmware, then on the second attempt, I discovered my mistake... you're supposed to have your phone un-plugged before clicking on the start button, then plug in. Hope it helps, I'm rooted now, Yah!

Yes you don't plug it in till you have the reflash open if you had it plugged in the hole time you will get errors good find I didn't think of that

Thanks guys...I have tried it that way and no change.
it may sound stupid but have you tried rooting without the sd card on the phone...
Well, just the sake of trying it, just uninstall any user app you installed. I was getting the problem, the unrevoked website mentioned the possibility of some apps interfering. I only had 3 installed, but it made a difference.

-Make sure USB debugging is Checked on the phone
-Allow ADB and anything else to connect to internet when Unrevoked is running if you have a firewall installed
-I think HTC Sync should be UNINSTALLED but someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
-And for goodness sakes restart your computer atleast lol just kidding but seriously I hope this helps
Well I finally got the root to take! What finally did it was uninstalling some apps! Thanks again everyone for your help!

i know you have already got it working but i just wanted to add something because i did not see it suggested, by the way glad you got it figured out.
when i first did mine i was having exact same issues, and tried 3 different computers, all with win 7, i was using zonealarm extream security on them, which is a fire wall and virus software, i was dissabling it on all atempts but what i forgot was win7 automatically turns on windows firewall when you dissable a aftermarket one. well i finaly remembered that and turned it off and it work first try.
so just wanted to throw that in for anyone reading this, just one more thing to check if you are having issues.
Hello All after searching and following directions of multiple threads including this one http://vaelek.com/index.php?/topic/1666-guide-how-to-un-root-re-root-your-evo-4g/ Unrevoked3 method and this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8223391&postcount=1 Auto root method, Im completely stumped and lost on what to do next. Im a half a noob.
After having some flashing issues with any non aosp Gb roms, I was forced to do Unroot rerrot method in hopes that would fix it.
So I Ruu'd to this setup:
hardware 0003
2.15.00.11.19
3.70.651.1
pri 1.90_003
prl 60679
and was able to get back to stock 2.2 and s-on
So then trying to root again, ran into issues.
Unrevoked method:
Installed usb drivers & htc syn(then uninstall)
Debugging on
Phone charge mode
and when i get to step to run Unrevoked, I get to the familiar waiting for device.
Does this everytime
Note that might be important: Step Where i go into Device Manger, I never have "Other Devices" listed-Android 1.0 like its says it should. However, Im still able to install/update drivers under"Disk Drives" Htc Android Phone Usb Device
One Click AutoRoot method:
Followed steps as it says and when i get to right click on Autoroot.bat & run administrator Step, Black box pops up, Runs through its thing it says it doesnt recognize advice. Tried over and over same thing.
btw im on Windows Vista 64 bit
Heard that trying a previous version of unrevoked3(3.2) could solve this issue but had problems finding anything other than updated version. v also tried switching usb cables and other little things you would not think it would be but im desperate.
i dont know what else to do. Ive been searching google all day. Please please help me.
Do you have usb debugging enabled from your phone?

Is you phone on 2.2 or 2.3 unrooted? Also you installed the modified hboot drivers from unrevoked?
Ruu'd back to 2.2, my current set up is in op. And yes installed drivers, followed exact directions of the both Unrevoked method and autoroot method exactly as the directions say. Neither method is recognizing my device. See op.

After you installed the drivers, you see android bootloader interface once the phone is plugged in? Also, reboot your phone and pc, then try unrevoked again.
Yes I see that but I dont see Android 1.0 under other devices in device manager. Thought this could be part of the issue as well. Your suppose to see that after installing drivers and plunging in phone.
As a last resort I'm trying a different pc as we speak. If you have a step by step directions maybe something that is easy to follow that would be great. Starting the downloads now on the new pc.

This is my guide to rooting...so far flawless victory for those that have used it.
Rooting
1. http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.p...driver_install ; Download the hboot drivers needed for rooting. The instructions are also there of how to install them, straight forward.
2. Download unrevoked3 > http://unrevoked.com/recovery/ ; It will show up as reflash_package on your desktop; leave it alone for now
3. On your phone from a home screen: menu > settings > applications > development and make sure usb debugging is checked; needed so that unrevoked can find the phone; never turn this off
4. http://www.htc.com/us/support/evo-sprint/downloads/ ; Download htc sync and install it. After that, uninstall the program from your computer ; you only need the drivers from it.
5. On your phone, connect the to the pc in CHARGE ONLY, do not mount as a disk, ect, has to be charge only
6. On the desktop, run unrevoked [reflash_package], accept the disclaimer, blah blah
7. Just sit your phone down and let it do its thing. It'll take about 5 minutes, and the phone will reboot twice. Once its done, it'll say done. You can open your app drawer and you'll see an app that says superuser, and then you're done.
IF unrevoked tells you 'is your firmware too new?' boot into the bootloader [while turning the phone on, hold vol+down till you see a white screen with androids skateboarding.] Use the volume keys to navigate after the scan completes to clear storage [a factory reset, data will be lost] and then use the power button to select it, then repeat step #6.
To tether, you can flash a custom rom of your choosing after you've browsed, and then use the built in hot spot, or download wireless tether from the market, more later after you root.
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.
Ok will try it and let you know thank you so much
Edit
the first link is no good but i just googled unrevoked wiki and i think i got it

The standard HTC drivers, or the modified HTC drivers from unrEVOked? And yeah, definitely dump Sync if you installed that.
well i finally got past that but now its stuck at "Waiting for system to settle (might be a minute)..." its been 20 minutes...
i have the modified from unrevoked. and i never installed sync
If installed, remove dropbox.

i dont have anything installed other than the stock apps. i completely started from scratch to root.
Try a different USB port and/or cable. Also, If you're on a laptop make sure you're laptop is plugged in and you are using performance power settings. Kind of sounds like the port is going into sleep mode and the app can't pick it up because it sees the port shut off.

You have admin rights on the machine? When you download the Unrevoked exploit, unzip it and single click and right mouse button the executable, properties, unblock if blocked.
And, when running the unblocked executable, if Vista or Win7, right click and run as administrator.

My only suggestion is if you still aren't properly rooted, try running unrevoked on a Mac. I rooted my Inc using a friend's Mac as I did not have to install drivers and it worked well. Is this an option for you?
not really.i dont know anyone that has a mac.
I did root my girl's HTC Desire about a month ago, and I couldn't get Unrevoked to run at all, just stuck @ Waiting for device... I installed the modified USB drivers from Unrevoked before hand, and that didn't work. I also installed the HTC Sync drivers, and after I did that, things worked. I had to use a different tool to root her phone, but maybe this is the issue?
I have seen where you can install HTC Sync, then uninstall just the program and leave the drivers.
I am rooting my friend's DInc tonight after work, I'll make note of the steps I use (it's been awhile!), and post back.
EDIT: WOOHOO!!! SUCCESS!! I had to uninstall and reinstall HTC Sync then uninstall it again

Good job bud! I was just looking to update you on the steps we took last night to root my buddy's DInc, but you got it! Welcome!
go to application, development, check mark to usb debugging before you connect the phone to the pc. the Unrevoked will let you know that your phone was connected.. if i did it anybody can do it because im kind of new to this. i did it to my htc evo, htc hero "with Superone Click" and droid incredible so far
I tried to find the answer of my question at many places but didn't have any success. I tried to root Droid incredible using unrevoked3 on 3 different computers ( all running Windows 7) but no success. On two pcs running amd processors, it don't go past pushing recovery image but the one Intel based, I got until phone reboots for first time and it just say rooting failed. When I unlock the mobile screen there is a notification saying unrevoked service stopped unexpectedly.
I have tried adb method to rebootin recovery but can't get phone in adb mod.
I am not new to rooting or programming but I am really stuck here. Phone is running froyo and have a bad esn. It is not also connected to any kind of cellular network. I did hard reset of phone many times but nothing has changed

I'm pretty sure you can use unrevoked through Linux (preferably Ubuntu) in a virtualbox. Saves the trouble of actually partitioning your hard drive and everything for something you're only going to use for twenty minutes.
One thing that works for me when I am jailbreaking iphones is to open Task Manager and set UnRevoked exe to use CPU 0 and make the priority Real Time.
Also exit any programs that monitor for new drives to pull media from. DropBox, Picasa, crap that came with your scanner/printer.
