So I got the inc and I'm very disappointed. I'm trying to root using unrevoked and after the first reboot when it tries to "run root" the phone reboots itself before it's finished, causing an error. Now the phone keeps rebooting shortly after the boot animation. I can unlock the screen and before it's finished loading it'll reboot.
Some details:
Stock Android 2.2
Unrevoked 3.2
Correct hboot drivers
Usb debugging is on
Charge only - remember this
I've done this for a buddy's inc last year with not a single problem as well as an evo so I'm familiar with unrevoked and htc devices.
Any suggestions?? Thanks!
K... sorry for clogging up your forum lol. I got it on like the tenth try. Just finally happened to work. Thanks for looking though!

Hey guys,
I was wondering if someone could shed some light on my problem. I have a rooted EVO (rooted using the SimpleRoot program) running the Cyanogen Froyo RC.
I want to return the phone back to factory default since the official Froyo comes out this week anyways, and I don't want to have problems upgrading to the official version.
I attempted to run the RUU_Supersonic_1.47.651.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_release_CL195459 from shippedroms.com, but at first I was getting:
ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR
Thinking it was probably a driver issue, I uninstalled HTC Sync, HTC Driver Installer, and PDANet (just for good measure), rebooted, and reinstalled (making sure virusscan was disabled).
I then connected my phone and reran the RUU. To my surprise, I got past the recognition and it got past the original error. As it attempts to flash the stock image, however, the first thing it does is reboot to the bootloader. The first thing I get is "waiting for bootloader..." and then after a timeout, I get:
ERROR [171]: USB CONNECTION ERROR
I just want to get this thing back to stock. Can anyone help me, please!?
EDIT: Maybe check this post out...I think this is actually what I did, but I already had nand unlocked.

with phone off: hold down power and vol-up, plug the phone in to the computer, now run your stock RUU. i believe that's what i had to do.
personally i would'nt do this, as you'll most likely lose your root, maybe for good. wait a 1/2 day for a rooted update to come out.

I do agree everybody is so ready to unroot there EVO instead of just waiting till the devs say its ok or a good working 2. 2 Rooted Rom is here. Then you guys going to flooding the forums askinghow to get root back or how they lost root. I say if your phone is working great and you have uncap fps and a2sd work then just wait it out.

hi there
I got my SLCD desire a few weeks ago and did the HTC upgrade to android 2.2.
Later I discovered that, with this upgrade, the rooting process is quite difficult.
Yesterday I found this thread to downgrade Android 2.2 to 2.1 (which I did and which seems to have worked perfectly).
Now I try to install the ClockworkMod with Unrevoked 3.1 to get root access.
I use win7 x64. Unrevoked3 gets stuck at "pushing recovery image".
It's been like that for half an hour without any change...
I installed the modified hboot driver and there are no devices without working drivers in the "device manager".
Is this a windows specific problem and it will work if I use linux?
Or did I do something wrong?
thanks for helping
sorry I'm a new member I cannot post the link to the "Downgrade froyo to stock 2.1", it tells me new members cannot post outside links...

How many times have you tried to run Unrevoked?
dunno, about 10 times
most times it failed after 5-40 sec with "failed to push recovery image. terminating...".
And now is the third time that it is pushing and pushing... last two times I quit after an hour or so...

yeah well it should only take about 15 seconds in all so its obviously not working, as for why I am not sure it sounds as though you have set it up correctly. Does your phone boot into HBOOT correctly when you plug it in using Unrevoked?
You have to use a custom image to root slcd screen using unrevoked. Let me see if i can find the link

hahaha i'm stupid! *facepalm*
nowhere is written that the sd card has to be in disk mode (opposed to charge only for the downgrade)
now it is working I think that was the only problem .... :S
thanks anyways for the quick answers
hmm ... how long should it take to flash it?
It now correctly goes to hboot, connects and then reboots and then states:
Flashing recovery image. Do not touch your phone!
But it's already been doing that for some minutes....
Is it normal that it starts flashing while the HTC-Boot-Logo is still visible?
(late) EDIT: worked with Linux LiveCD, something on windows made it impossible to finish the rooting process
I am going crazy trying to root my friend’s Evo, I did mine so long ago using toast 1+ 2 method; which is a breeze compared to the unrevoked 3.21. I have tried everything to get the re-flash tool to move past : waiting for device:
I have tried:
1. downloaded HTC sync, but did not run it.
2. Running HTC sync, reboot, and then uninstall
3. Turning of anti-virus on computer
4. Switching USB cords
Nothing has worked…… Please help!
The hboot is 0.97, which should be rootable.
Thanks in advance
Not totally new to root. Had an Eris an drooted it, now have a DInc. Loaded root via the instructions and it worked. Downloaded unrEvoked and it worked. downloaded ROM Redemptive rEvolution for my DInc and it loaded. (performed backups prior to any of these steps and as instructed during the steps).
don't know what happened and exactly when it happened but I froze up and tried to reboot.
Stuck on white screen HTC Incredible or I can reboot to hboot but if I try Recovery I get black screen/ white side borders.
Reverted back to rEVOked recovery tool and "file" "custom recovery", plug the phone back in and rEVOked gives me
Device "sbin/sh device not found" is not supported at this time
HELP PLEASE!
First, wrong section.
Second, this has been asked a billion times.

Sounds like your DINC has an SLCD screen as opposed to an AMOLED screen.

Hello everyone,
I would need expert help here... 3 months ago I have tried to root my HTC Desire that was running (it still is) 2.2 I have tried to use the one-click flash unrevoked, I enabled USB debugging, I had plugged it in my Mac and I tried to flash it. The computer starts the process, at one point it says restarting bootloader, but my phone just stayed off. When I powered it on manually, it just worked, but it wasn't flashed. I used for the next 3 days, turning it on and off every night and it would work, until it just turned on, went passed the pin code check and a message would pop up for every app saying it is not responding...
I got a friend to fix it. 2 weeks after that, without doing anything to it, it just did not start and gave me the same problem.... I had to send it in for repair, HTC opened my phone replaced everything at the exception of the case. Although, I want to root it, I am afraid to break my phone again... Any suggestions ?
Try this thread. Worked for me.

Although I don't use a Mac, it seems much simpler to root.
Oh, I forgot, I used this method on my original desire (previous was stolen)

Either way works, just make sure you have a GOLD CARD
Did you install the hboot drivers?
unrevoked is normally working fine.
there are 3 things you need to pay attention on it.
1. uninstall HTC Sync completly
2. install HBoot drivers
3. activate USB-Debugging
with this 3 points it should work fine
After serveral failed attempts to use unrevoked on my 2.2, i came across the thread below, the followed the 2.2 -> 2.1 donwgrade guide and then unrevoked worked first time once i was on 2.1
