There is methods to root the evo
Unrevoked is where you need to go for that.. All cameras work on CM Build just no 4G or HDMI.

I just got a new EVO with the new hboot 2.02 and I was able to easily root with with the directions from this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045.
I chose to go with Myn's twopoint ROM and love it. Plus the 4g and hdmi work (unlike CM's current release).

The only things that don't work with CM are 4g and HDMI.
I was also a CM fan until I discovered Myn. There are lots of great ROMS for Evos, but CM and Myn's seem to have the most users (at least active ones) and Myn's tends to have the best satisfaction based on users.
CM is a developers playground while Myn is more user-friendly with its customization. Either way you can't go wrong with this phone

& just so you guys know the team is working on a driver to use the new camera in the brand new evo's. so yes there are some issues right now.
you should be able to root any version, just depends what method if you have hboot 2.02

i bought mine last friday and rooted just fine using the 2.02 method

IMO. lot more community with the evo the epic has a lot of users that demand to much with out actually helping the devs (some with all devices but many more with epic) screen is better with epic but that is the only thing i like about it my wife has had problems with both of her rooted and not it just was not ready to be released

any one you buy now from sprint will be the new hboot and a 004 hardware.
if you want used or 2nd hand look on ebay or craigslist. then you can see what your getting.

Got a brand new oo3 w/ 3.29 otb the day before yesterday at corporate Sprint store. They said they'd just got 'em in and so they must be newest.....

where do i find overclocked kernals? or overclock? i looked in rom manager

Just got an incredible. Have some questions.

I just got my incredible last Saturday cause I thought the Droid X was too laggy. Im a little bit familiar with rooting as I had my old g1 rooted and flashed a bunch of custom roms to that.
I've been researching the Droid incredible rooting process and think I wanna do it. But I have some questions first.
1. I'm currently on the latest OTA update. If I root, is there an easy way to go back to stock if I wanna claim warranty or download the gingerbread OTA when it comes out? If so how?
2. Is this stable for a rookie programmer to do? What are the odds i'll brick it?
Thanks for all your help in advance!

Unrevoked is simple. Couldn't be any easier really. Cake walk compared to rooting my D1.
Haven't gone back to stock on the incredible, but did it for a friend on the D1, and it was simple. I have seen people say that going back to stock on the Incredible is simple also.
As far as Gingerbread goes, we (rooted Incredibles) will most likely have it first, because of leaks. We already have several ROM's with the Gingerbread keyboard, and the ROM is sure to follow shortly.
I would suggest you Root. You wont regret it. The Dev's for the Incredible are fantastic. They are all making quality ROM's and you will love them. Guaranteed!
The only thing tricky in rooting the Incredible is the SLCD screen causes issues and you have to have a zip file on your SD card. The tutorial will link to it.

The only thing I'm worried about is if I have an SLCD or not and unrooting instructions. Every search I do only comes up with an unroot back to stock method for 2.1 eclair that doesn't work on froyo.

Well, the rooting Part is extremely easy. But, when using unrevoked make sure you select a custom recovery image, that works with sLCD incredibles (i have one), or else you can't see anything going on with it. (black screen white lines, driver issue). If you want ill post a link up. But I rooted mine the second day I had it, and this is my first smartphone period. And I took java 1 and 2 last year in highschool, so i am no programmer. Its incredibly easy.
Now, I havent come across anything, anything for unrooting. So, if you can wait, dont root.
And..pretty sure, when you get the Gingerbread OTA, it will unroot your phone, and bring it back to stock.

Yeah dude if you could post a link to that custom recovery so I could check it out id be awesome!

Just go for it and root it. I was worrying about it for months and then I did it and was rooted in 10 minutes and had a custom ROM installed within 2 hours WITH all my data restored.
Incidentally, I can easily recommend Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS4 ROM for Incredible http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809985
It's insanely fast and stable, and the overclocked kernel gets surprisingly good battery life. And, go through some of the extras for it in that thread if you take a look, some are quite handy like Hulu and the Supercircle battery.
Also, the flipclock actually flips

Will I be able to re SOn my device so I can claim warranty if it ever breaks after that unroot tutorial?
Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA app.

Should be a way on here, but if you treat your Incredible well/decently, it's not gonna break/a better phone will be out by then anyway. The benefits of root greatly outweigh the voided warranty. (My personal thoughts on "Manufacturer's Limited Warranties", however, could be an entire thread by themselves)

The only thing I'm really worried about is my warranty and being able to unroot back to stock if I need to send it in(i have a knack of bad luck of phones breaking for no reason and me breaking phones)
I treat my electronics well. I just don't have the money for a new 500 buck incredible . I'm a struggling 18 year old paying for college and a car as well.

Yes- first step in the tutorial is actually how to turn s-on if you so choose.

As far as the custom recovery image goes, here is the basic instructions from the first link posted regarding the recovery.
Step 3A- For those with SLCD screens (Sku ends in 3) start here:
NOTE- You'll see a black screen with white bars if you go into recovery. DO NOT PANIC- we're going to fix that right now by doing the following:
Unplug your phone and close the unrEVOked window.
Download the following file and extract it somewhere you will remember: http://dougpiston.com/files/Recovery...MG_cwm_mod.zip
Start the unrEVOked tool again and go to file -->custom recovery.
Select the recovery.img that you extracted.
Plug in phone (charge only), enable usb debugging and let the tool run.
Note: If tool hangs at waiting for reboot (safe to unplug), that's normal. Unplug the phone and plug it back it. The tool should now saw "complete".
Turn phone off and reboot into HBoot by pressing the power and volume - (down) buttons at the same time
Continue with instructions in Step 3B

Heh I bet I have less money..... 15 yr. old highschooler with no job and $25 every 2 months from my grandma
I've broken my fair share of electronics, and have had faulty ones; from what I've seen Incredibles are insanely reliable (though most modern smartphones are).
However, rooting isn't for everyone. Like it says in the root tutorial thread, don't root to be cool. Do it if you actually want/would use features of root, esp. custom ROMs.

I came from a sprint hero. and ended up with a Slcd DINC. After reading up rooting took all of like 5 mins. But I bet I have less money.. 3 girls in school. and a wife in RN school. Im the only one working,lol But then again. my cars and such are paid for. no bill outside the norm. and my cells..
Just ordered the seidio rugged case etc.. to protect my DINC... cant wait. cause I sure cant afford to buy a new one if it breaks.lol

Thanks guys. I eventually rooted. I did it wrong the first time and almost lost my phone (slcd issue). But the unroot guide helped bring me back. I re rooted and all went well. Haven't found the right custom Rom yet. Ill keep looking though.

[Q] Quick Root Question

Okay, my gf has a Droid Incredible, and wants me to root it as in i did to my Hero, but I am worried on the difficulty of it? lol, is it much different from rooting the hero or any other? and how hard would it be to unroot and get back to stock just in case for warranty reasons through Verizon? Thank you.

Rooting it is as simple as installing some drivers and hitting a button. Unrooting it is as easy as flashing an ruu and possibly s-on not sure if the ruu does that or not. But both are very simple to do.
Unrevoked.com has a really good guide since its the program that roots it.

Wow, thank you^^ she shall be pleased, why couldn't it have been this easy when i was rooting my Hero for the first time?! =P

Let us know how it goes. Also I suggest a gingerbread rom there AWESOME.

Yeah the OMFGB 2.3 was my daily driver for like 2 weeks, longest I think I've ever had a ROM on my phone Now I'm running Nils Business Sense Z. This one is dope. However it'll probably only last again for a week or so

[Q] should i root my droid incredible 2

Just wondering if it is really worth it to root

I did, and I couldn't be happier. I love MiUi with the Tiamat 1.1.2 kernal. It's really fast, (a lot faster than stock sense) and not to mention GORGEOUS! lol. I'd take the plunge just to see what all you can do with your phone more than you could already. Way better than iPhone too

Yes
// via rooted Droid Incredible 2

If you are here asking, and are curious enough to go ahead with it, then yes. Ultimately the choice is yours. Rumors of bricked phones are, or at least were over-exaggerated at one time. But it can happen. There are many here willing to help, and links that go to youtube even for visual guides for you.

Very well worth it. If only to be able to remove all the extra bloat it would be worth it. But once you get to start trying out different roms and kernels the fun really begins

Yes. You get the see the potential of your device not to mention countless custom options. It's quite addicting

I bricked my inc 1 last week, i have no idea how, now I have the inc 2 and I'm deathly afraid to root it. Someone comfort me.

Another pro-root vote here. It's not something that grandma can do between games of solitaire, but for anybody reasonably comfortable with computers it's easy, rewarding, and very low-risk.

Ahhh i did the same thing and bricked my first attempt ( it got me a new phone at least, i went from a Droid x to a Dinc 2)...but i learned from my mistakes and now i have no problems restoring from any problem. There is always a way back..as long as you follow the right steps. A little research and reading, and you will be confident in no time, flashing a new rom every day...because its addicting!!!
ITs all about customizing your phone to what works for you...or just endlessing trying new things!!

Unfortunately, I was not new to flashing. The phone decided it had had enough and I couldn't get into recovery no matter what I tried and i was screwed. Luckily, verizon customer service let me upgrade early.

I root my incredible 2 last week and i put the skyrider rom and is very stable..

I asked this same question a few weeks ago and ended up rooting (and flashing SkyRaider Zeus) and LOVE IT!
The battery savings alone make it worth it, but being able to customize pretty much everything about the phone is also a bonus.
I say do it.

Does rooting the phone take away its global capabilities?

Root it. I have flashed countless unstable/unfinished roms and never had a problem. Bricking it shouldn't be a concern, plus when you root you get the ability to have much more stable roms than stock that have no bloat and more options. Its 100% worth it.

Just switch to the incredible 2 today from the original and within half an hour after getting home I rooted it. It's just to hard to resist. Bye bye bloatware.

My girlfriend is having a lot of issues with her Dinc 1. We just left Verizon and they are sending her a Dinc 2 as a replacement. She told me while we were standing there (behind the associates back) that she wants me to root it as soon as it comes in. Its well worth it.

[Q] Resurrected DInc - Needs Updated

I recently had to resurrect my Incredible back from the dead due to a water issue with my Galaxy S5.
It is rooted, S-Off, HBoot 0.92.000
Radio 2.15.00.07.28
Gingerbread 2.3.4
Kernel 2.6.35.14-gingertiny-v2
CWM 5.0.2.0
I haven't looked at it in at least 2 years or more, and don't even know what ROM is currently on it. I don't even know where to start. The one thing that I do know is that the USB port is still broken and I still need to use my stand alone charger to swap out freshly charged batteries when they get low (something I did for a whole year before buying the S5).
Everything powers up fine and seems to be working, however everything is so out of date, that it still had the Market instead of Google Play to download apps. It did eventually update itself, but I can't download any new apps or update what I do have. It gives me server errors when I try.
I apologize for maybe sounding so helpless, but I was never involved in the community here much, more of a reader than poster. I'm looking for someone to hold my hand on this one an point me in the right direction to get a decently stable ROM loaded so that I can use this phone for awhile until my S5 sits in a bag of rice and dries out for a week or I end up getting something new. Are there any limitations of what I can or should choose for a ROM? Has flashing a new one changed since 2012?
Thanks so much in advance.

I have just pulled out my dinc again and I have just got cm10.2 on it running 4.3.1. So far it has worked wonderfully. No issues expect for google+ dosent seem to work. I will find the link to download it. Which recovery do you have?
